From the project

Hardware design, BOM, gerbers and 3D files for CO-sensor-MQ7-breakout designed by Soldered Electronics.

The MQ7 sensor’s sensitivity and selectivity allow it to effectively detect and measure carbon monoxide levels, making it a crucial tool for applications such as gas leakage detection, safety systems, and environmental monitoring. By interfacing the MQ7 sensor with appropriate electronic circuits and microcontrollers like Arduino, you can create systems that provide real-time monitoring and prompt alerts in the presence of hazardous CO concentrations. It needs a bit of time to warm up in order to work correctly.
