  • Page 5: Introduction

    1. Introduction The Grove - Gas Sensor (MQ9) module is useful for gas leakage detecting (in home and industry). It can detect LPG, CO, and CH4. Based on its fast response time. Measurements can be taken as soon as possible. Also the sensitivity can be adjusted by the potentiometer.

  • Page 9: Usage

    How to choose a Gas Sensor What's LEL Hardware Installation Grove products have an ecosystem and all have a same connector which can plug onto the Base Shield. Connect this module to the A0 port of Base Shield, however, you can also connect Gas sensor to Arduino without Base Shield by jumper wires.
  • Page 10: How To Use

    How to use There're two steps you need to do before getting the concentration of gas. First, connect the module with Grove Shield using A0 like the picture above. And put the sensor in a clear air and use the program below.
  • Page 11 to replace the R0 below with value of R0 tested above void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); void loop() { float sensor_volt; float RS_gas; // Get value of RS in a GAS float ratio; // Get ratio RS_GAS/RS_air sensorValue = analogRead(A0); sensor_volt=(float)sensorValue/1024*5.0; RS_gas = (5.0-sensor_volt)/sensor_volt;...
  • Page 12 According to the figure, we can see that the minimum concentration we can test is 200ppm and the maximum is 10000ppm, in a other word, we can get a concentration of gas between 0.02% and 1%. However, we can't provide a formula because the relation between ratio and concentration is nonlinear.
