Keyestudio EASY plug Analog Alcohol Sensor

Introduction

This analog gas sensor - MQ3 is suitable for detecting alcohol. It can be used in a Breath analyzer. Also it has high sensitivity to alcohol and low sensitivity to Benzine.
The sensitivity can be adjusted by a blue potentiometer on the sensor.
This module should be used together with EASY plug control board.

Special Note:
The sensor/module is equiped with the RJ11 6P6C interface, compatible with our keyestudio EASY plug Control Board with RJ11 6P6C interface.
If you have the control board of other brands, it is also equiped with the RJ11 6P6C interface but have different internal line sequence, can not be used compatibly with our sensor/module.
