MQ135 GAS SENSOR

Arduino library for the MQ135 gas sensor

Datasheet

Can be found here

Application

They are used in air quality control equipments for buildings/offices, are suitable for detecting of NH3, NOx, alcohol, Benzene, smoke, CO2, etc

advanced Features compared to base

Not every device is the same. Changing the Header files is not a good way to program for a variety of devices

• Set RZero and ATMCO2 directly in Constructor -> MQ135 gasSensor = MQ135(AIR_PIN, 52.7, 404.48);
• Added a RefPin which is supposed to measure the Vcc of the MQ135. Constructor -> MQ135 gasSensor = MQ135(AIR_PIN,AIR_PIN_REF, 52.7, 404.48);
• RZERO, ATOMCO2, RefPin, RLoad can be set by functions

Features

This library has:

• Corrections for temperature and humidity
• Measurements:
  • getResistance
  • getCorrectedResistance
  • getPPM
  • getCorrectedPPM
  • getRZero
  • getCorrectedRZero
  • setRZero(float newVal);
  • setATMCO2(float newVal);
  • setRLOAD(float newVal);
  • setRefPin(uint8_t pin);

Example

The example provided shows how to implement the Sensor with MySensors. For temperature I use a barometric pressure sensor. Humidity is received from my MySensor network (don't have a spare DHT sensor) RL[kOhm] I measure with a Voltmeter between GND and Vcc on the MQ135.
