SOLDERED DEBO GAS MQ8 3 - Developer boards - gas sensor, hydrogen, MQ-8

Hydrogen, an extremely common element, poses considerable risks due to its high flammability. Early detection of hydrogen leaks is crucial to prevent damage to life and property. The MQ8 breakout board is an advanced instrument for detecting hydrogen concentrations in the range of 100 to 1000 ppm. It provides both digital and analog information via the user-friendly easyC system.

• detects hydrogen concentrations in the range from 100 to 1000 ppm
• provides digital and analog signals via easyC
• integrated LED as an indicator for gas detection
• four mounting holes for easy attachment
• three male headers for connection flexibility

The MQ8 breakout board serves as an essential tool for monitoring and safety in areas where hydrogen is used or stored. With its ability to detect hydrogen concentrations in the range of 100 to 1000 ppm, it provides critical early warning of potentially dangerous leaks. The use of the easyC system allows for easy integration into existing safety systems and the digital and analog output offers versatile connectivity options. Visual feedback through an integrated LED and convenient mounting through pre-drilled holes maximize ease of use and efficiency.

Conclusion: The use of the MQ8 breakout board for Arduino (or a compatible board such as Dasduino) is an effective measure for the early detection of hydrogen leaks. This technology contributes significantly to the minimization of risks and to safety in industry-related and other relevant areas.

easyC
easyC is a robust connection system that optimizes the connection of microcontrollers, sensors and actuators using JST-SH-compatible connectors (JST 4-pin). It offers solderless connections, serial connections of multiple devices (daisy-chaining), error-free design, parallel connection, universal compatibility and intermediate compatibility with Qwiic (Sparkfun connection system), simplifying prototype development. Further information on easyC can be found under ''Data sheets''.
