Here s a not entirely comprehensive list of the mq gas sensors often seen being used in arduino smoke alarm or breathalyser projects.
Mq 7 gas sensor wikipedia.
Mq gas sensor type is the most popular gas sensor for hobbyist easy to get and of course very cheap.
I also have 2 of these set up as analog sensors on my enviro phat connected pizero.
Mq 7 semiconductor sensor for carbon monoxide sensitive material of mq 7 gas sensor is sno 2 which with lower conductivity in clean air.
It can detect co gas concentrations anywhere from 20 to 2000ppm.
1 configuration a or b sensor composed by micro al 2 o 3 ceramic tube tin dioxide sno 2 sensitive layer measuring electrode and heater are fixed into a crust made by plastic and stainless steel net.

Mq 7 gas sensor more.
The mq7 is a simple to use carbon monoxide co sensor suitable for sensing co concentrations in the air.
Like mine for example.
You can get this sensor for several.
High sensitivity to ch4 natural gas small sensitivity to alcohol smoke fast response stable and long life simple drive circuit specification.
Structure and configuration of mq 7 gas sensor is shown as fig.
Here s the list taken from arduino cc website.
The sensitivity can be adjusted by the potentiometer.
The sensor s conductivity is more higher along with the gas concentration rising.
Mq gas sensor type has many derived type for every certain gas.
The mq 7 is a carbon monoxide co sensor suitable for sensing co concentrations in the air.
1 hi all i have been reading a lot about this sensor in internet and in the forum but in fact i still cannot make it work properly.
