As mention in chapter 2, Arduino is 10 bit analog to digital converter<br />
microcontroller. Therefore, based on the hardware, the real input voltage <strong>of</strong> <strong>gas</strong> sensor is<br />
5V.<br />
i. Step 1:<br />
Since the binary for Arduino is 10-bit, it is equal to 2^10= 1024 steps or levels <strong>of</strong> the<br />
resolution. The maximum output from the <strong>gas</strong> sensor, 5V is then divided into 1024.<br />
From the calculation above, 1-bip output is equal to 4.88mV in the real voltage output.<br />
Figure 3.12 below shows the relation between voltage output from <strong>gas</strong> sensor and<br />
Arduino reading more clearly.<br />
