Sensitive to humidity
Works as expected but noticed some drift in high humidity conditions. Ensure you account for environmental factors in your code.

Perfect for prototyping
Works great with my Arduino Uno. Easy to calibrate using the onboard potentiometer. Remember this is for hobby use, not a certified safety device.

Fast shipping and well packed
Module arrived safely. Tested with a 5V relay module and it triggers correctly when exposed to CO source. Great for automation projects.

Excellent for thesis project
Used this for an environmental monitoring system. The analog output provides good granularity for data logging. Highly recommend for students.

Good value but needs patience
The sensor requires a long preheat time to stabilize. Once warmed up, readings are consistent. Good for learning gas detection logic.
Q: Can this sensor work with 3.3V microcontrollers?
A: The sensor heating element requires 5V. However, the output signals can be interfaced with 3.3V logic boards using a voltage divider or level shifter.
Q: Is this module certified for home safety alarms?
A: No, this module is designed for hobbyist and prototyping purposes only. Please use certified safety equipment for life-critical applications.
Q: Does this detect natural gas or propane?
A: MQ-7 is specifically sensitive to Carbon Monoxide. For combustible gases like propane or natural gas, please consider the MQ-5 or MQ-6 models.
Q: How long does the sensor need to preheat?
A: For stable and accurate readings, we recommend an initial preheating period of at least 24 hours before calibration.
Q: What are the pin functions on the module?
A: The module typically features four pins: VCC (Power), GND (Ground), DO (Digital Output), and AO (Analog Output).
