The LPG Leakage Detection System is a real-time gas detection and alert system using an MQ-5 sensor and Arduino UNO. It helps prevent gas-related accidents by triggering alerts when dangerous levels of LPG are detected.
- Real-time LPG detection using MQ-5 sensor
- Audible and visual alarms for leakage alerts
- Low power consumption and cost-effective design
- Easy installation and user-friendly interface
-
Hardware: MQ-5 Gas Sensor, Arduino UNO, GSM Module, LCD Display, Servo Motor
-
Software: Arduino IDE
- Install Arduino IDE
- Download and install the Arduino IDE suitable for your operating system.
- Download Required Libraries
- MQ-5 Gas Sensor: Install the library for the MQ-5 sensor from the Arduino Library Manager.
- LiquidCrystal: Install the LiquidCrystal library for controlling the LCD display.
- Upload the Code to Arduino UNO
- Open the Arduino IDE and load the provided code into the editor.
- Select the appropriate board (Arduino UNO) and port.
- Click on the "Upload" button to upload the code to the Arduino.
- Power on the Device
- Ensure all components are properly connected.
- Continuous Monitoring of LPG Levels
- The system will continuously monitor the LPG levels in real-time using the MQ-5 gas sensor.
- When LPG Leakage is Detected:
-
LCD Display Notification: The system will display an alert on the LCD indicating the detected leakage.
-
Gas Regulator Shutdown: The servo motor will automatically turn off the gas regulator to stop the gas flow.
-
Alert Notifications: The system will send an SMS and make a call to the user via the GSM module to alert them about the leakage.
