hen comes the calibration process.

just calibrate it to get about 100-150 from

analogRead in a good air condition.

normal air returns ~100-150

alcohol returns ~700
lighter gas returns ~750+

The sketch is simple:

int sensorPin = A0;

int sensorValue = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
Serial.println(sensorValue);
}
It reads the sensor value and print it on Serial terminal.

Note that when sensor are power up they need about 1 minute to settle, in this time
the heater heats up the sensor.

We experimented with Isopropile alcohol, Benzine, Lighter Gas, human breath of two
different persons ??

Here is the measured data:

MQ-2 normal air output 100

Isopropile alcohol 540
Ligther Gas 760
Benzine 450
Breath1 150
Breath2 140
MQ-3 normal air output 180
Isopropile alcohol 800
Lighter Gas 400
Benzine 700
Breath1 220
Breath2 270

MQ-7 normal air output 150

Isopropile alcohol 750
Lighter Gas 900
Benzine 800
Breath1 170
Breath2 160
MQ-135 normal air output 130
Isopropile alcohol 700
Lighter Gas 760
Benzine 450
Breath1 150
Breath2 140
the results are:

MQ-2 shows good sensibility to Lighter Gas

MQ-3 detects well Isopropile alcohol and Benzine

MQ-7 detects well Isopropile alcohol, Lighter gas and Benzine

MQ-135 detects well Isopropile alcohol, Lighter gas
