* 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.

==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.

The Matrix-MQ_3_Gas_Sensor module outputs analog signals which can be converted to digital signals through an ADC converter e.g. the Matrix-Analog_to_Digital_Converter module.<br>
