In this example, you will read the sensor analog output voltage and when the smoke

reaches a certain level, it will make sound a buzzer and a red LED will turn on.

What is an MQ-2 Smoke Sensor?

Device Manager
The MQ-2 smoke sensor is sensitive to smoke and to the following flammable gases:
(https://create.arduino.cc/devices)
LPG
Butane
Propane
Methane
Alcohol
Hydrogen
Digital
The resistance of the sensor is different depending
Store on the type of the gas.
The smoke sensor has a built-in potentiometer that allows you to adjust the sensor
(https://store.arduino.cc/digital/)
sensitivity according to how accurate you want to detect gas.

Sensor Pin-out details

How does it Work?

Digital
The voltage that the sensor outputs changes accordingly to the smoke/gas level that
Store
exists in the atmosphere. The sensor outputs a voltage that is proportional to the
concentration of smoke/gas.
(https://store.arduino.cc/digital/)

In other words, the relationship between voltage and gas concentration is the
following:
Arduino Web Editor
The greaterthe gas concentration,the greaterthe output voltage
(https://create.arduino.cc/editor)
The lowerthe gas concentration,the lowerthe output voltage
