Pololu Carrier for MQ Gas Sensors

This carrier board is designed to work with any of the MQ-series gas sensors, simplifying the interface from 6 to 3 pins—ground, power and analog voltage output—that are broken out with a 0.1″ spacing, making the board compatible with 0.1″ headers and standard breadboards and perfboards. This board has two mounting holes and provides convenient pads for mounting the gas sensor’s required sensitivity-setting resistor.

Alcohol Gas Sensor – MQ-3

This alcohol sensor is suitable for detecting alcohol concentration on your breath, just like your common breathalyzer. It has a high sensitivity and fast response time. Sensor provides an analog resistive output based on alcohol concentration.

How does this relate to the breath? It turns out that there is a standard conversion from breath alcohol content to BAC that is employed by commercial breathalyzers. Our formula for calculating BAC from the alcohol measured in the breath is:

% BAC = Breath mg/L * 0.21
