Now let us examine the method of reading the analog output pin of the MQ2 gas sensor. The circuit connections for building a smoke detector prototype using its analog output pin is shown in figure 3. As shown in the figure, the MQ2 gas sensor to Arduino Uno connection, via its analog pin, is tabulated as follows:
