This study aims to develop an efficient and cost-effective system for detecting small particles, with the potential for integration with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The research is divided into two main components: simulation and practical experimentation. The findings demonstrate that the system is capable of detecting particles with widths up to 400 µm. Additionally, it was established that the signal response could be modulated following a sigmoid function. These results confirm the functionality of the system; however, the simulation component indicates potential areas for improvement. Moreover, there is significant potential for the system to be adapted for UAV attachment.
