Sensor ELECFREAKS PlanetX MQ3

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.
