Arduino Code

The document contains code for an MQ gas sensor setup, including calibration and gas concentration measurement for LPG, CO, and smoke. It defines various macros for configuration, initializes the sensor, and implements functions to read sensor values and calculate gas concentrations. The setup uses an LCD to display the results and communicates via serial output.

could be derived.

about
10, which differs slightly between different sensors.

configured
by changing the definition of the macros.
