GAS Sensor
The GAS Sensor project demonstrates how to interface a gas sensor with an Arduino Mega to detect and measure gas concentrations. This project utilizes an analog gas sensor to detect the presence of gases in the environment and calculate their concentration in parts per million (ppm). It provides a method to monitor air quality or detect specific gases based on sensor readings and threshold settings.
