Cant read anything from Winsen ZH03b sensor

Im trying to use code found on this website for this sensor, but I keep getting 0 for values for PM1, PM2.5 and PM10. The code I am using is:
https://www.winsen-sensor.com/d/files/a ... e-v2_0.pdf
Ive even tried to change bytes that are read but with no success. Any idea whats wrong?
Code: Select all
I dont have any adapter so I wired 5V, GND, and Tx Rx directly to Arduino mega. Ive tried both hardware and software serial but keep getting 0. The datasheet of used sensor://******************************
//*Abstract: Read value of PM1,PM2.5 and PM10 of air quality

//*The RX pin on the sensor connects to pin 10 on the Arduino
