Using the MQ-4 Methane Sensor with Arduino: Calibration and Limits

Using the MQ-4 Methane Sensor with Arduino: Calibration and Limits

Track relative methane response with MQ-4 after long preheating and calibration; use certified gas detectors for life-safety applications.

Engineering approach

Track relative methane response with MQ-4 after long preheating and calibration; use certified gas detectors for life-safety applications.

Implementation guidance

Provide the sensor heater with the specified 5 V supply, allow the manufacturer's preheat, establish R0 using a controlled reference, and treat module-comparator thresholds as local indicators rather than concentration measurements.

Scope and limitations

MQ-4 is cross-sensitive, slow, and affected by environment and aging. Install a certified gas alarm according to local code for any occupied building.

Choose the required components and verify their specifications in the Juthour Tech store.
