Good sensitivity
Requires a warm-up period but readings are stable afterwards. Good for hobby projects.

Great value
Cheap and effective for general gas detection experiments. Analog output is smooth.

Reliable module
Used this for a university project. Data logging was consistent over several days.

Perfect for Arduino
Works exactly as described. Easy to interface with my Uno board for air quality monitoring.

Solid sensor
Potentiometer allows easy threshold adjustment. Just remember it needs 5V power.
Q: What does the potentiometer do?
A: It adjusts the sensitivity threshold for the digital output pin (DO).
Q: Does this detect CO specifically?
A: It is sensitive to CO among other gases like NH3 and Benzene, but it is not specific to CO alone.
Q: Can this run on 3.3V logic?
A: The sensor heating requires 5V. The output can be read by 3.3V MCUs but ensure voltage levels are compatible.
Q: Is there a library for this?
A: Standard analogRead functions work. Many community MQ sensor libraries are available on GitHub.
Q: How long is the warm-up time?
A: Initial burn-in is 24-48 hours. Before each use, allow 1-2 minutes for heating stabilization.
