The MQ-5 Gas Sensor Module is a reliable and cost-effective solution for detecting combustible gases in homes, laboratories, industries, and DIY electronics projects. It uses the MQ-5 gas sensing element to accurately detect LPG, methane, propane, butane, and hydrogen. The module includes an onboard comparator with an adjustable sensitivity potentiometer, allowing users to set the desired gas detection threshold.<\/p>\n

With both analog and digital outputs, the MQ-5 can be easily interfaced with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, STM32, and other microcontrollers. It is widely used in gas leakage alarms, smart home systems, industrial safety equipment, and educational projects.<\/p>\n
