iv. Step 4:<br />

Since Arduino only read in the 10-bit numbering, the threshold value for alarm <strong>system</strong> to<br />

be functional as well as the project set up, concentration value need to convert into 10-<br />

bit data to programmed the Arduino programmer. The threshold values are based on the<br />

OSHA organization standard value. By using the equation 3.5 and 3.6 in step 3, value <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>gas</strong> concentration can be obtain. Table 3.3 below shows all the threshold value for the<br />

both <strong>gas</strong> sensor which are taken from OSHA.. The calculation for converting the value<br />

<strong>of</strong> voltage output to digital output is based on the equation 3.7 below.<br />
