Its response is broad and can vary with gas type, concentration, temperature, humidity, sensor age and calibration. It is useful for learning and prototyping, but it does not identify a gas with laboratory selectivity.<\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udd27 Sensor information<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Sensor type: semiconductor (SnO\u2082)<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturer-stated target: combustible gases and smoke<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturer-stated test range: 300\u201310,000 ppm for combustible gas under specified test conditions<\/li>\n<li>Heater supply specified for the sensing element: 5.0 V<\/li>\n<li>Sensitivity adjustment: the supplied module may include an adjustable potentiometer; confirm the actual board<\/li>\n<li>Output and pin arrangement: vary by module version; check its printed labels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The concentration range above is a sensor-manufacturer test specification, not a guarantee that this breakout provides calibrated ppm readings. Many modules expose an analog output and a threshold-comparator digital output; available outputs depend on the exact board.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2699\ufe0f Operating notes<\/h4>\n<p>The sensing element has a heated surface. Allow it to warm up and stabilize before taking readings. The manufacturer specifies a preheat period of at least 48 hours for its stated standard test conditions; short-term classroom demonstrations may show changing readings and should not be treated as calibrated measurements. Recalibrate when conditions or the sensor change.<\/p>\n<p>MQ-2 responds to several combustible gases and smoke, with different sensitivities. A single reading cannot reliably distinguish LPG from propane, hydrogen, methane, alcohol vapour or smoke. Ambient humidity, temperature, airflow, contamination and heater voltage also influence output.<\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udd0c Typical module wiring<\/h4>\n<p>Use the labels on the actual breakout because pin names and order vary. A common module provides VCC, GND, AO (analog output) and DO (threshold-switched digital output). The heater normally requires a stable 5 V supply; check the module documentation and do not exceed your microcontroller\u2019s input voltage on AO or DO. A 5 V output must not be connected directly to a 3.3 V-only GPIO unless the input is protected or level-shifted.<\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udca1 Example applications<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Educational demonstrations of semiconductor gas-sensor response<\/li>\n<li>Combustible-gas or smoke trend experiments in a supervised prototype<\/li>\n<li>Microcontroller analog-input and comparator exercises<\/li>\n<li>Non-critical indoor-air sensing experiments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Important safety notice:<\/strong> this hobby module is not a certified smoke detector, LPG alarm, industrial gas monitor or life-safety device. Do not rely on it to protect people or property, detect a leak, or replace approved alarms. For real gas or fire protection, install certified equipment and follow local safety requirements.
