Introduction

This a hydrogen and nitrogen oxide gas concentration sensor launched by DFRobot.

The sensor uses MEMS technology to support gas concentration detection of CO, CH4, C2H5OH, C3H8, C4H10, H2, H2S and NH3. The matching sample code integrates the concentration conversion formula of various gas to facilitate the testing and use of sensors.

The product supports 5V power supply, analog voltage output, and has power supply enable/disable pins for low power consumption.

Features

Support a variety of harmful gas detection Integrate the calculation formulas of various gas concentration Low power consumption I2C digital output Compatible with the 3.3~5.5V master controller

Applications

Gas leak detection Gas safety equipment Air environment detection
