The LXRobotics Gas Sensor Childboard can be used to sense various gas types e.g. LPG, butane, propane, methane, alcohol, hydrogen, smoke. The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted via potentiometer. A user controllable red LED and a piezo buzzer are used for signalling alarm/warning states. For a quick and easy start, an open source Arduino library with sample programs is available.
