Hi,
A friend wants to put together a device combining an Android OS and a CO2 (and possibly others) sensor. He knows a bit about mechanical design, I know abit about Android (been playing with Linux for years). we lack electrical engineering skills (may need to find a friend to help).
He found a relatively cheap CO2 sensor device ($100) that may potentially be wired to get the reading into an Android phone. I own a MyTouch that we can use for the prototype. The goal is to get a reading and send it using cell or data signal to another computer.
Here are the docs on the CO2 sensor.

Any tips on how to go about this project are very welcome!
