Gorillacell Module 060: MQ9 Gas Sensor

George Bantique October 9, 2025 Comments Off

MQ Gas Sensor provides a series of gas sensors designed to detect different types of gases. These sensors are based on Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) technology, where the sensing material changes its resistance when exposed to specific gases. Because of this property, they are also known as chemiresistors. Using the voltage divider principle, the presence and approximate concentration of a gas can be detected.
