Arduino Gas Sensor Alarm Code Guide

The document outlines an Arduino-based gas sensor alarm system that uses a gas sensor, buzzer, and LED to detect gas levels. It continuously reads the sensor value and triggers an alarm when the value exceeds a threshold of 250. The setup includes wiring instructions, configuration options, and safety notes for effective operation.

Arduino Gas Sensor Alarm System

Arduino Code

int gasSensor = A0;


int buzzer = 13;
int led = 11;

void setup() {
pinMode(A0, INPUT);
pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
[Link](9600);
}

void loop() {
int sensorValue = analogRead(gasSensor);
[Link]("Sensor Value: ");
[Link](sensorValue);
delay(1000);

if(sensorValue > 250) {


digitalWrite(buzzer, HIGH);
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
}
else {
digitalWrite(buzzer, LOW);
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
}
}

Functionality

Gas Detection System:

Continuously reads gas sensor analog value (0-1023)


Monitors gas concentration levels
Triggers alarm when gas level exceeds threshold

Alarm Conditions:

Sensor Value Buzzer LED Status

> 250 ON ON Gas Detected!

≤ 250 OFF OFF Normal

Operation Flow

1. Read Sensor: Analog value from gas sensor on pin A0


2. Display: Send sensor value to Serial Monitor at 9600 baud
3. Check Threshold: Compare reading with threshold (250)
4. Activate Alarm: If exceeded, turn on buzzer and LED
5. Wait: Delay 1 second before next reading

Hardware Setup

Gas Sensor (MQ-2/MQ-5):

VCC → Arduino 5V
GND → Arduino GND
AO (Analog Output) → Arduino A0

Buzzer:

Positive (+) → Arduino Pin 13


Negative (-) → Arduino GND

LED:
Anode (long leg) → Arduino Pin 11 (with 220Ω resistor)
Cathode (short leg) → Arduino GND

Configuration

Threshold Setting:

Current threshold: 250 (analog value)


Adjustable based on gas type and sensitivity required
Range: 0-1023

Detection Delay:

1 second between readings


Prevents rapid fluctuations
Can be adjusted via delay() function

Serial Monitor Output Example

Sensor Value: 180


Sensor Value: 195
Sensor Value: 265
Sensor Value: 290
Sensor Value: 220

Safety Notes

⚠️ Important:

Calibrate sensor before use


Test in well-ventilated area
Adjust threshold based on gas type
Use appropriate gas sensor for target gas
This is a basic detection system - use professional equipment fo
