MQ4

High sensitve multiple gas sensor especially for CH4，Natural gas

If you are using just MQ4(not module), Then prepare load resistance around 2k ohm.

This sensor need pre-heating. To get stable output, wait for heat-up, minimum 2 minutes.

This library get analog voltage from a sensor. Output voltage will increase regarding gas level. When you need actual level (ppm), you should do calibrate the sensor and prepare a formula.

wired(obniz, { vcc, gnd, do, ao});

// Javascript Example
var mq4 = obniz.wired("MQ4", {vcc:3, gnd:2, do:1, ao:0});
await mq4.heatWait();
mq4.onchangeanalog = function(voltage) {
  console.log(voltage);
}

startHeating()

It start heating.

// Javascript Example
var mq4 = obniz.wired("MQ4", {vcc:3, gnd:2, do:1, ao:0});
mq4.startHeating();

[await] heatWait(sec: number)

It start heating and wait for a while.
You can update wait time.

// Javascript Example
var mq4 = obniz.wired("MQ4", {vcc:3, gnd:2, do:1, ao:0});
await mq4.heatWait();
mq4.onchangeanalog = function(voltage) {
  console.log(voltage);
}

onchangeanalog = function(voltage: number)

Specified function will be called every voltage change.

// Javascript Example
var mq4 = obniz.wired("MQ4", {vcc:3, gnd:2, do:1, ao:0});
await mq4.heatWait();
mq4.onchangeanalog = function(voltage) {
  console.log(voltage);
}

onexceedvoltage = function(voltage: number)

Specified function will be called only when a voltage exceed voltageLimit variable.

// Javascript Example
var mq4 = obniz.wired("MQ4", {vcc:3, gnd:2, do:1, ao:0});
await mq4.heatWait();
mq4.voltageLimit = 1.0
mq4.onexceedvoltage = function(voltage) {
  console.log(voltage);
}

voltageLimit = number

It define the level of onexceedvoltage call.

// Javascript Example
var mq4 = obniz.wired("MQ4", {vcc:3, gnd:2, do:1, ao:0});
await mq4.heatWait();
mq4.voltageLimit = 1.0
mq4.onexceedvoltage = function(voltage) {
  console.log(voltage);
}

onchangedigital = function(voltage: number)

This function only be called when do was specified at wired function.
do output high/low regarding output. It compared in a module.
This function will be called every change of do.

// Javascript Example
var mq4 = obniz.wired("MQ4", {vcc:3, gnd:2, do:1, ao:0});
await mq4.heatWait();
mq4.onchangedigital = function(value) {
  console.log(value);
}
