Value for money
Cheaper than local electronics stores and works just as well for hobby projects. Shipping was fast.

Solid build quality
PCB looks professional and soldering points are clear. The header pins were included which was a nice touch.

Good sensitivity
Takes time to warm up as described, but once heated it detects gas changes quickly. Good value for the price.

Works great with ESP32
Connected easily to my ESP32 project. The analog output is smooth and the digital threshold is adjustable via the potentiometer. Great for learning.
Q: How do I calibrate the sensor?
A: Place the sensor in clean air for the preheat period, then read the baseline analog value to set your threshold.
Q: What is the exact pinout configuration?
A: The pins are labeled on the PCB: VCC for power, GND for ground, DO for digital output, and AO for analog output.
Q: Which model is best for detecting alcohol vapor?
A: The MQ-3 model is specifically optimized for alcohol and ethanol detection compared to the other variants.
Q: Does it work with 3.3V logic microcontrollers?
A: Yes, the digital output is compatible, but we recommend powering the module with 5V for proper heater operation.
Q: Is this certified for home safety alarm systems?
A: No, this module is designed for educational and prototyping purposes only. It is not certified for life-safety applications.
