The MQ135 Gas Sensor for Arduino/Raspberry Pi is a reliable air quality detection module that senses ammonia, sulfide, benzene, smoke, CO2, and other harmful gases. It provides both analog and digital outputs for comprehensive air quality monitoring.
Key features
- Broad gas detection for ammonia, sulfide, benzene, smoke, CO2
- High sensitivity with fast response time
- Dual output – analog and digital for flexible interfacing
- Adjustable threshold via onboard potentiometer
- Long-term stability with minimal calibration drift
- 5V operation compatible with all major microcontrollers
- Compact design for easy integration
Good to know
- Requires 24-48 hours initial burn-in for accurate readings
- Cross-sensitive to multiple gases – use for qualitative trends
- Calibrate in known clean air before deployment
- Temperature and humidity affect readings
- Not certified for safety-critical applications
