    I was looking for some other gas sensor, but these have no shield ready to connect to arduino :

    Sensor	     Operating Voltage  	Heater Power
    MiCS-2710 (NO2)	  2.5 V	           43 mW
    MiCS-5525 (CO)	   5.0 V	           76 mW
    

    do I need a dedicated 2.5 V linear regulator such as Microchip TC1071VCT713 ?

          @hek about initial calibration, how would I do check if there is a value in the eeprom or not, and if not run an initial calibration ?

            Unwritten eeprom has the value 0xff.

              Hi,
              First of al I'm a novice in all of this. I can read some code but the whole arduino thing is new to me.

              I tried to get the MQ135 working on my uno with tearing apart the : https://github.com/empierre/arduino/blob/master/1.3/MQ135dgi.ino.
              I tried to pull out the bits and parts to get a accurate reading on my serial monitor.

              It sometimes read 1 or 2, but most of the time it is 0.
              Can it have something to do with it being mounted on its own PCB? (I ordered the one suggested in the store..)
              Can someone help me out?

                @Omemanti hello have you plugged it on the right pins, this is an analogic sensor to be plugged on A0, with 5V and GND pins. Don't wire the digital one, useless...

                My minimal value is 53.. so not 0 or 1 hwich looks more like the digital output ;-)

                      Hi,
                      Where can I find AirQuality1.xml?? (or all files related to this device if there are others then the .xml)

                      01 09/03/14 13:46:53.685 ctrl_chr[31;1mDevice_LuaUPnP::LoadDeviceDoc can't load /etc/cmh-lu//D_AirQuality1.xmlctrl_chr[0m <0x2acc9000>
                      02 09/03/14 13:46:53.686 ctrl_chr[33;1mJobHandler_LuaUPnP::m_sMissingFile_set /etc/cmh-lu//D_AirQuality1.xmlctrl_chr[0m <0x2acc9000>

                      Seems like if this file is missing it brakes the whole MySensors plugin.
                      All devices related to MySensors plugin are blank and nothing seems to update.
                      Deleting the device that use AirQuality.xml will make the rest work again.

                      Help!!

                          ahh, that's why I cant find it... no pressure from my side to get one done but maybe we should mention this little detail on the MySensors building page just as a heads up for others since there is a sketch published and all...

                                    @Yveaux I know you are strong at finding datasheet... can you find one for me ? I can't find the 2SH12 sensor altgough I've asked for it to all suppliers on aliexpress...

                                    Same for theWSP1110
