Reliable analog output
Consistent readings for CO detection experiments. I used the MQ-7 variant specifically and it performed within expected parameters.

Perfect for school project
Easy to interface with Raspberry Pi using an ADC. Documentation online is plentiful which helped me get started quickly.

Great for Arduino projects
Works well for detecting smoke in my prototype. The analog output is stable after the initial warm-up period. Easy to wire up.

Good sensitivity
Needs calibration but works as expected for LPG detection. The digital threshold potentiometer is very useful for setting alarms.

Takes time to warm up
Works fine but needs 24-48h initial burn-in for stable readings. Don't expect instant accuracy out of the box.
Q: Can I detect CO2 with the MQ-2 sensor?
A: No, the MQ-2 is sensitive to smoke, LPG, and methane. For air quality and CO2 detection, please select the MQ-135 model.
Q: How long does preheating take before use?
A: For stable and accurate readings, we recommend a burn-in period of 24 to 48 hours upon first use. Subsequent power cycles require less time.
Q: Is this suitable for certified home safety alarms?
A: No, these modules are designed for prototyping and educational purposes. They are not certified for life-safety or industrial safety applications.
Q: What microcontroller is compatible with this module?
A: This module is broadly compatible with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, and Raspberry Pi. You just need to ensure proper voltage regulation.
Q: Does this work with 3.3V logic microcontrollers?
A: Yes, the sensor operates at 5V, but the output signals are compatible. We recommend using a level shifter for the digital output when connecting to 3.3V boards.
