real-time detection and analysis of diverse gas concentrations.

Connections are made between MQ-5 sensor, Arduino uno, buzzer, LED, as per the circuit diagram:
The components used to detect gas:

MQ-5 sensor It detects combustible gases in most Arduino projects

These are low cost, easy to use sensors with a wide detection range that may be reduced to modify
sensitivity
There are four pins on the MQ-5 sensors module two of which are VCC, GND,DO,AO. The power LED
Turns on when the board is powered up.
VCC: provides +5v for sensor circuit
□ METHOD GND: common ground pin
DO: gives digital output from sensor
AO: output analog voltage in proportional to the concentration of smoke/gas

It is equipped with input or output pins to connect to various sensors and other components .it is user
