MQUnifiedsensor Library

This document contains code for reading gas concentration values from an MQ5 sensor using the MQUnifiedsensor library. The code initializes the sensor, calibrates it over 10 readings to determine the R0 resistance value in clean air, and enters a loop to continuously update readings from the sensor and print the results to the serial monitor every 5 seconds. Key steps include including the MQUnifiedsensor library, defining sensor parameters, initializing the sensor, calibrating it, setting the regression model and coefficients, and reading and printing values in a loop.

Wiring:

Please make sure arduino A0 pin represents the analog input configured on
#define pin

This example code is in the public domain.

//Include the library


#include <MQUnifiedsensor.h>

//Definitions
#define placa "Arduino UNO"
#define Voltage_Resolution 5
#define pin A0 //Analog input 0 of your arduino
#define type "MQ-5" //MQ5
#define ADC_Bit_Resolution 10 // For arduino UNO/MEGA/NANO
#define RatioMQ5CleanAir 6.5 //RS / R0 = 6.5 ppm
//#define calibration_button 13 //Pin to calibrate your sensor

//Declare Sensor
MQUnifiedsensor MQ5(placa, Voltage_Resolution, ADC_Bit_Resolution, pin, type);

//Init the serial port communication - to debug the library
Serial.begin(9600); //Init serial port

//Set math model to calculate the PPM concentration and the value of constants
MQ5.setRegressionMethod(1); //_PPM = a*ratio^b
MQ5.setA(1163.8); MQ5.setB(-3.874); // Configure the equation to to calculate
H2 concentration

// Explanation:
// In this routine the sensor will measure the resistance of the sensor
supposedly before being pre-heated
// and on clean air (Calibration conditions), setting up R0 value.
// We recomend executing this routine only on setup in laboratory conditions.
// This routine does not need to be executed on each restart, you can load your
R0 value from eeprom.
