- The MQ-136 is a toxic gas sensor that detects the presence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), and other toxic gases. Here's an example code in Arduino that reads the gas concentration from the sensor:
- Note: This code assumes that the MQ-136 toxic gas sensor is connected to pin A0 of the Arduino board. If you're using a different pin, you'll need to modify the SENSOR_PIN definition accordingly. Also, the equation used to calculate the gas concentration was determined experimentally, so you may need to adjust it for your specific sensor. Finally, note that the sensor is designed to detect specific gases and may not detect all toxic gases or vapors.

- const int SENSOR_PIN = A0; // the pin connected to the sensor
- float voltage; // the voltage reading from the sensor
- float gas_concentration; // the gas concentration calculated from the voltage
- void setup() {
- Serial.begin(9600);
- pinMode(SENSOR_PIN, INPUT);
- }
- void loop() {
- // read the voltage from the sensor
- voltage = analogRead(SENSOR_PIN) * (5.0 / 1023.0);
- // calculate the gas concentration in parts per million (ppm)
- gas_concentration = (0.15 * voltage) - 20;
- // print the gas concentration
- Serial.print("Gas Concentration: ");
- Serial.print(gas_concentration);
- Serial.println(" ppm");
- // delay before reading from the sensor again
- delay(1000);
