MQ-3 Alcohol Gas Sensor

Postby sleepyone » Mon Jun 03, 2013 10:50 am

Hi guys, I have a question which has been bugging me for awhile now...i had purchased the MQ-3 Alcohol gas sensor with breakout board http://www.cytron.com.my/viewProduct.php?pcode=SN-MQ3
This is the schematic http://www.cytron.com.my/usr_attachment ... ematic.pdf
Based on the Schematic there is a capacitor attached to pin H of the sensor..what is the function of the capacitor? your replies would be greatly appreciated ;)

The sensor can only let you know the amount of Alcohol in the air, you must ensure it is close enough for it to sense like the sensor use by police.
