// This is an example of implementation using ESP8266 // Never connect the sensor direct to the ESP8266, sensor high level is 5V // ADC of ESP8266 high level is 3.3 // To connect use a voltage divisor, where 5V will 3v3 on the middle point like // this {{URL}} /* MQUnifiedsensor Library - reading an MQSensor using ESP8266 board For this example wi will demonstrates the use a MQ3 sensor.
