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.
