Operating principle:
MQ-135 gas sensor applies SnO2 which has a lower conductivity in the
clear air as a gas-sensing material. In an atmosphere where there may be
polluting gas, the conductivity of the gas sensor raises along with the
concentration of the polluting gas increases. MQ-135 performs a good
detection to smoke and other harmful gas, especially sensitive to ammonia,
sulfide and benzene steam. Its ability to detect various harmful gas and
lower cost make MQ-135 an ideal choice of different applications of gas
detection.
2. Applications
This module can be applied to harmful gas detecting devices.

4. How to use
We will illustrate the usage of the module with an example of sensitive gas
detection by connecting a development board.
① Download the relative codes to the development board.
② Connect the development board to a PC via a serial wire and the
module to the development board. Then, power up the development
board and start the serial debugging software.
Here is the configuration of the connection between the module and the
development board.
