ABOUT THE PROJECT

■ In this project, we will learn how to create a smoke detector using


Arduino. This will help us detect the intensity of gases.
■ we will create a smoke detector using Arduino. The detector will
detect the smoke and will notify the user through the buzzer and red
LED if the smoke density is above the safety limit.
■ It can help detect leaks of natural gas or propane in homes.
■ It can be used to detect the presence of smoke, indicating a potential
fire. This can be used in homes, offices, and industrial settings.

7-12 DC BATTERY
Arduino UNO
■ The microcontroller board is equipped with
sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O)
pins that may be interfaced to
various expansion boards (shields) and other
circuits. The board has 14 digital I/O pins (six
capable of PWM output), 6 analog I/O pins,
and is programmable with the Arduino
IDE (Integrated Development Environment),
via a type B USB cable. It can be powered by
a USB cable or a barrel connector that
accepts voltages between 7 and 20 volts,
such as a rectangular 9-volt battery.
■ General pin functions – LED, VIN ( input
voltage), 5V, 3V3, GND, IOREF, Reset
■ Special pin functions – Serial UART, External
Interrupts, PWM, SPI, TWI, AREF
MQ2 GAS/SMOKE SENSOR-

■ The MQ2 sensor is one of the most widely used in


the MQ sensor series. It is a MOS (Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) sensor. Metal oxide sensors are
also known as Chemiresistors because sensing is
based on the change in resistance of the sensing
material when exposed to gasses.
■ The MQ2 gas sensor operates on 5V DC and
consumes approximately 800mW. It can
detect LPG, Smoke, Alcohol, Propane, Hydrogen,
Methane and Carbon Monoxide concentrations
ranging from 200 to 10000 ppm.
■ The sensor’s analog output voltage (at the A0
pin) varies in proportion to the concentration of
smoke/gas. The higher the concentration, the
higher the output voltage; the lower the
concentration, the lower the output voltage.
BUZZER
■ A buzzer or beeper is
an audio signaling device, which
may
be mechanical, electromechanical,
or piezoelectric (piezo for short).
Typical uses of buzzers and
beepers include alarm
devices, timers, train and
confirmation of user input such as
a mouse click or keystroke.
■ a relay may be connected to
interrupt its own actuating current,
causing the contacts to buzz (the
contacts buzz at line frequency if
powered by alternating current)
7-12 V DC BATTERY
■ An electric battery is a source of electric
power consisting of one or
more electrochemical cells with external
connections for powering electrical devices.
When a battery is supplying power, its positive
terminal is the cathode and its negative
terminal is the anode.
■ The terminal marked negative is the source of
electrons that will flow through an external
electric circuit to the positive terminal. When
a battery is connected to an external electric
load, a redox reaction converts high-energy
reactants to lower-energy products, and
the free-energy difference is delivered to the
external circuit as electrical energy.

APPLICATIONS

■ Home Safety: Gas sensors can be used to detect leaks of natural gas
(methane) or propane in homes, triggering alarms to alert occupants
and prevent accidents.
■ Industrial Safety: Gas sensors are crucial in industrial settings to
monitor for hazardous gases like carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen
sulfide (H2S), or ammonia (NH3), helping to maintain safe working
conditions.
■ Air Quality Monitoring: Gas sensors can be used to measure
pollution levels in the air, detecting harmful gases such as carbon
dioxide (CO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter (PM).
■ Fire Detection: Smoke sensors can be used to detect the presence
of smoke, indicating a potential fire. This can be used in homes,
offices, and industrial settings.
APPLICATIONS

5. Environmental Monitoring: Gas sensors can be used in environmental


monitoring stations to measure air quality and detect pollutants in
the atmosphere.
6. Smart Agriculture: Gas sensors can be used in agricultural applications to
monitor the levels of gases such as methane and carbon dioxide in
livestock buildings or greenhouses.
7. Automotive Applications: Gas sensors can be used in vehicles to monitor
exhaust emissions and ensure compliance with emissions regulations.
8. IoT Applications: Gas sensors can be integrated into IoT devices to create
smart systems that can monitor air quality and send alerts or take actions
based on the sensor readings.
