Detailed Description

ID: mq5
Name: Grove MQ5 Gas Sensor
Category: gaseous
Manufacturer: seeed
Connection: analog
Kit: eak

The Grove MQ5 Gas Sensor module is useful for gas leakage detection (in home and industry). It can detect LPG, natural gas, town gas, and so on. It is highly sensitive and has a detection range of 300-10,000 ppm.

        short[] buffer = new short[128];
        // Attach gas sensor to A0
        upm_gas.MQ5 sensor = new upm_gas.MQ5(0);
        upm_gas.thresholdContext ctx = new upm_gas.thresholdContext();
        ctx.setAverageReading(0);
        ctx.setRunningAverage(0);
        ctx.setAveragedOver(2);
        while (true) {
            int len = sensor.getSampledWindow(2, buffer);
            if (len != 0) {
                int thresh = sensor.findThreshold(ctx, 30, buffer);
                sensor.printGraph(ctx, resolution);
                if (thresh != 0) {
                    System.out.println("---Threshold reached---");
                }
            }
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        }
