Description:
The MQ-135 air quality gas sensor module is designed to detect various gases present in the air that can affect air quality, including ammonia (NH3), nitrogen oxides (NOx), benzene, smoke, and other harmful gases. Here's how to effectively use the MQ-135 sensor:
-
Understanding the Sensor: The MQ-135 sensor operates on the principle of a chemical reaction between the gases in the air and the sensor's electrodes, resulting in a change in electrical conductivity. This change is then measured and interpreted as the presence of specific gases.
-
Connections: The MQ-135 sensor typically has four pins: VCC (power supply), GND (ground), AOUT (analog output), and DOUT (digital output). Connect VCC to a suitable power supply (usually 5V), GND to ground, and then either AOUT or DOUT depending on your preferred output type.
-
Calibration: Calibration may be necessary before use. Expose the sensor to clean air for a certain period to establish a baseline reading. Calibration procedures may vary depending on the specific sensor and application, so refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
Powering Up: Apply power to the sensor module. Allow a warm-up time (usually a few minutes) for the sensor to stabilize and provide accurate readings.
-
Reading Output: If connected to the AOUT pin, you'll receive an analog voltage output proportional to the concentration of the detected gas in the air. If connected to the DOUT pin, you'll receive a digital signal that switches from low to high when the gas concentration exceeds a certain threshold.
-
Interpretation: Interpret the sensor output based on your project requirements. You may need to use different thresholds or calibration curves for each gas to accurately determine their concentrations.
-
Safety Considerations: Some gases detected by the MQ-135 sensor, such as ammonia and nitrogen oxides, can be harmful to health. Handle the sensor with care and avoid exposure to high concentrations of these gases. Ensure proper ventilation during testing and avoid using the sensor in potentially hazardous environments without appropriate safety precautions.
-
Integration: Integrate the sensor with a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi) for data processing, display, or further action based on the detected gas concentrations.
