    also when i use other sketch (in site) i have problem . after times i test this but dont show really values... i test with a new sensor and there is different value also i test with 3 sensor but there are different values for all !
    also i change sensors and i have different result. i can not know where is problem !

    @Reza said:

    /Hardware Related Macros************/
    #define MQ_SENSOR_ANALOG_PIN (0) //define which analog input channel you are going to use

    If I were to hazard a guess, it looks like you did not set MQ_SENSOR_ANALOG_PIN to the pin # to which the MQ_SENSOR is attached. Pin 0 is not valid.



  • @blacey
    Hello, thank you for the answer.
     Aout MQ2 is connected to the Arduino A0.
    The sketch that is in site "https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/blob/master/examples/AirQualitySensor/AirQualitySensor.ino" has a problem. For long time if last value == new value, so radio dont ant reports to the gateway for a long time and I see that node is red and offline in domoticz. So I used a Millis () function has been added to report every few minutes. My first test with a plastic bag full of gas, i put gas sensor in a plastic bag and close the bag. So I see a number of ppm (greate) for example 1900 ppm. After some days I tested this again and again .... but this time a bag full of gas shows only 27 ppm (same conditions) so I'm making more gas sensors and put in plastic bag, but (in the photo ) each sensor shows the different number of ppm (the number is far ...).
    is the MQ2 a reliability sensor? this problem is related to MQ2 sensor? or sketch or other reason!



  • @Reza hi Reza,
    LPGCurve[3]={2.3, 0.21, -0.47}; COCurve[3] and SmokeCurve[3] are taken from MQ-2 datasheet where 2.3=Lg200 but the sketch uses "log" in

    int MQGetPercentage(float rs_ro_ratio, float *pcurve)
    {
    return (pow(10, ( ((log(rs_ro_ratio) - pcurve[1]) / pcurve[2]) + pcurve[0])));
    }

    In my system log stands for ln=natural logarithm so i have to change log with log10 in the sketch and in the MQ2 library.
    Try a Serial.print(log(10)) to check.

    Regards



  • @zampedro
    thank you for answer . but i dont understand you. you say to me i must change sketch ? what change ? witch line? thank you
