MQ 6 SMOKE/ GAS DETECTOR USING

ARDUINO
A SIMPLE SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEM

UMANG SINGH
INTRODUCTION

• What is the MQ6 Sensor?


• MQ6 is a gas sensor used to detect gases like LPG, methane,
and smoke.
• Used in safety systems for detecting hazardous gases in the
environment.
COMPONENT USED

• MQ6 Smoke & Gas Sensor


• Arduino Uno Board
• Jumper Wires
• Breadboard
• Power Supply (5V)
• Buzzer or LED (optional for notification)
WORKING PRINCIPLE

The MQ6 sensor detects smoke and gases in the air through its sensor element.

The sensor output is an analog voltage proportional to the concentration of gases


detected. Arduino reads this signal and triggers a response, like activating a buzzer or
LED.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS

• Connections:VCC of MQ6 to 5V of Arduino.


• GND of MQ6 to GND of Arduino.
• Analog Output (A0) of MQ6 to an analog pin (A0) on
Arduino.
• Optional: Connect a Buzzer or LED for alerts.
CODE EXPLANATION

• sensorPin: Set the analog pin (A0) to read from MQ6.


• sensorValue: Stores the sensor reading.
• threshold: Set the value above which action is taken (e.g.,
turning on the LED or buzzer).
• Serial Monitor: Displays the sensor value in real-time.
WORKING OF THE PROJECT

• The MQ6 sensor continuously monitors the air for smoke or


gas.
• When the gas concentration exceeds the threshold value,
Arduino detects the change.
• A signal is sent to trigger a buzzer or LED to alert the user
about the danger.
APPLICATIONS

• Home Safety: Detect smoke or gas leaks in kitchens and


living spaces.
• Industrial Safety: Monitor gas leaks in factories or labs.
• Fire Detection Systems: Provide early warning for fire
hazards.
CONCLUSION

•The MQ6 sensor combined with Arduino is an effective,

•low-cost smoke and gas detection system.

•Can be easily integrated into various safety applications.

•Provides real-time alerts to prevent dangerous situations.
