DFRobot_MultiGasSensor

Gas sensors are widely applied to many fields such as gas research, environmental detection, production safety monitoring, dissolved gas analysis, pollution source/outlet law research, detection of toxic and harmful and combustible gas, laboratory or on-site simple gas analysis and testing, etc. This Multi-gas Sensor can be used with a variety of gas probes to detect hazardous gas concentration. 正反面svg效果图

Summary

This Gas Sensor can be used in complex environments to detect different gas like O2, CO, H2S, NO2, O3, CL2, NH3, H2, HCL, SO2, HF and PH3, which is achieved by just switching corresponding probes. Meanwihle, it supports gas high/low threshold alarm.

Installation

To use this library download the zip file, uncompress it to a folder named DFRobot_MultiGasSensor. Download the zip file first to use this library and uncompress it to a folder named DFRobot_MultiGasSensor.

Methods

  '''
  @brief Change the mode of reporting data to the main controller after the sensor has collected the gas.
  @param INITIATIVE: The sensor proactively reports data
         PASSIVITY : The sensor can report data only after the main controller sends request to it.
