As I currently reside in India, most of the houses here have a LPG -Gas stove system for cooking food and various other kitchen activities. There are LPG cylinders which are used as a fuel source for the gas stove.

Many a times, disastrous accidents take place due to leakage of these cylinders, in these situations we must administer proper care and safety.

Keeping this in mind, in today’s post I have worked on MQ-2 gas sensor (FC-22) powered and interfaced with Arduino Uno.

Here is its datasheet :-http://www.allelectronics.com/mas_assets/theme/allelectronics/spec/GS-29.pdf

Now, First of all you will require these components:

Arduino UNO
Breadboard
LED’s
Resistors
Jumper wires
MQ-2 gas sensor.
Buzzer

That’s it guys.Install this in your kitchen or garage for better safety and protection of your loved ones.
