Matrix-MQ_3_Gas_Sensor模块的主要器件是一个具有快速响应和恢复特性的MQ-3气体传感器，传感器所使用的气敏材料是在清洁空气中电导率较低的二氧化锡(SnO2)，当传感器所处环境中存在酒精蒸汽时，传感器的电导率随空气中酒精蒸汽的浓度增加而增大，传感器将电导率的变化转换为与酒精蒸汽浓度相对应的模拟信号输出，灵敏度可以通过电位计进行调节。

The Matrix-MQ_3_Gas_Sensor module employs a responsive MQ-3 gas sensor. Its gas sensitive material is SnO2. When the alcohol concentration in the air increases the sensor conductivity will increase accordingly and the module will convert the change of conductivity to analog signals. The sensitivity can be adjusted by the potentiometer.

MQ-3 Alcohol sensor
  • The Matrix-MQ_3_Gas_Sensor module uses the MQ-3 gas sensor which is sensitive to alcoholic vapors and thus can be used to detect the density of an alcoholic vapor.
  • The output voltage of the module is non-linear but close to linear to the concentration of alcoholic vapors.
  • In order to increase its accuracy before use it to detect a gas warm it up for one minute as long as it is not overheated.

3 Basic Device Operation

The Matrix-MQ_3_Gas_Sensor module employs a responsive MQ-3 gas sensor. Its gas sensitive material is SnO2. When the alcohol concentration in the air increases the sensor conductivity will increase accordingly and the module will convert the change of conductivity to analog signals. The sensitivity can be adjusted by the potentiometer.

5 Compile & Run Test Program

Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code: 

$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.

Compile and install Matrix: 

$ cd matrix
$ make && make install

Run test program: 

$ matrix-adc

Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.
Here is what you should observe:

The channel0 value is 2460

When the concentration of alcoholic vapors reaches a threshold value an event will be triggered. As the concentration increases the value will increase.

6 Code Sample

This Matrix code sample can work with all the ARM boards mentioned in this module's wiki. The name of this code sample is "matrix-analog_to_digital_converter". Here is its source code: 

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    int i = 0;
    int value = 0;
    int channel = 0;
 
    if (boardInit() < 0) {
        printf("Fail to init board\n");
        return -1;
    }
 
    if (argc == 2)
        channel = atoi(argv[1]);
    system("modprobe "DRIVER_MODULE);
    signal(SIGINT, intHandler);
    for (i=0; i<ADC_READ_TIMES; i++) {
        if (pcf8591Read(channel, &value) != -1) {
            printf("The channel%d value is %d\n", channel, value);
        } else {
            printf("Fail to get channel%d value\n", channel);
        }
    }
    system("rmmod "DRIVER_MODULE);
 
    return 0;
}
