3.2 Hardware implementation<br />

In the <strong>wireless</strong> <strong>monitoring</strong> <strong>system</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>gas</strong> <strong>detector</strong>, there are a few parts <strong>of</strong><br />

hardware involved. This section will discuss on the design and function <strong>of</strong> each<br />

component that are connected to the Arduino in order to build the project. Along with<br />

that this section also explains how the circuitry connection between the components and<br />

microcontroller is made. This includes the sensor circuit and also the output circuit<br />

which comprises <strong>of</strong> LEDs, exhaust fan and a buzzer.<br />

3.2.1 Gas sensor circuit<br />

Figure 3.5: MQ3 and MQ6 image [12]<br />

In this project, MQ 6 is used to detect the liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG),<br />

meanwhile MQ3 is used as the replacement <strong>of</strong> MQ 6 in detecting alcohol <strong>gas</strong>. The<br />

replacement <strong>of</strong> <strong>gas</strong> sensor in the project to show that level <strong>of</strong> different dangerous <strong>gas</strong> can<br />

be obtain by using the same method. Figure 3.5 shows the image <strong>of</strong> both the <strong>gas</strong> sensor.
