LPG click released - protect yourself from inflammable gases

LPG click carries an MQ-5 sensor. Just like our other sniffing sensors on Alcohol click, and CO click,
this one also carries a sensor unit made of Tin dioxide (Sn02) which has lower conductivity in clean
air than when LPG starts filling the air.

Derived from fossil fuels, LPG is used for heating, motor fuel, or cooking. It's highly inflammable so
we use sensors for leakage detection.

By the way, did you know that the word "inflammable" is never used on warning signs because most
people mistakenly think it means "not flammable"? Warning labels always say "flammable", a word that
practically didn't even exist until the early 20th century.

Luckily, programming languages don't have that sort of life-threatening ambiguity built in them. So go
ahead and make use of the Libstock examples in mikroC, mikroPascal and mikroBasic and see how LPG
click works. Specs and details on the product page.

Yours sincerely,
MikroElektronika
