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.

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    sensor = new upm::MQ5(0);
    signal(SIGINT, sig_handler);
    thresholdContext ctx;
    ctx.averageReading = 0;
    ctx.runningAverage = 0;
    ctx.averagedOver   = 2;
    while (!is_running) {
        int len = sensor->getSampledWindow (2, 128, buffer);
        if (len) {
            int thresh = sensor->findThreshold (&ctx, 30, buffer, len);
            sensor->printGraph(&ctx, 7);
            if (thresh) {
                // do something ....
            }
        }
    }
    std::cout << "exiting application" << std::endl;
