## Description

An alcohol vapour sensor module from the ELECFREAKS PlanetX range, designed for use with micro:bit via an RJ11 connector. The MQ3 sensor uses a tin dioxide (SnO2) sensing element whose conductivity increases with alcohol gas concentration, providing an analog output you can read and process in MakeCode or Python. Connects directly to PlanetX-compatible expansion boards such as the Nezha, making it easy to add gas detection to micro:bit projects without complex wiring. Key Features MQ3 Gas Sensor – Detects alcohol vapour concentration Analog Output – Proportional to gas concentration RJ11 Connector – Plug-and-play with PlanetX expansion boards 3.3 V Operating Voltage – micro:bit compatible MakeCode & Python – Supported programming environments SKU – EF05032 Note: The sensor requires a 3-minute preheat period after powering on before readings are accurate. Ideal For micro:bit science and chemistry experiments Air quality and gas detection projects STEM education and classroom activities Package Contents 1× ELECFREAKS PlanetX MQ3 Sensor Resources Wiki Documentation
