Why this program matters

  • Without mastering the MQ-2 sensor, your gas detection projects fail systematically, generating critical false positives or negatives.

  • Poor microcontroller integration leads to an average of 25 hours of lost debugging per prototype, or 1 200 € in time and burned components.

  • 70 % of industrial gas leak incidents stem from imprecise measurement, exposing your company to 45 000 € fines and costly production shutdowns.

  • Every delay in automation threatens your career and your team's competitiveness.

Program

Complete curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : Discovery of Gas Sensors and Presentation of the MQ-2

1. Introduction to different types of gas sensors (technologies, uses) 2. Detailed view of the MQ-2: operating principle, specifications, detected gases (LPG, propane, methane, smoke, etc.) 3. MQ-2 module electronics: pinout, internal circuit operation, usage conditions 4. Practice: simple mounting on breadboard, power supply, reading output voltage

Module 2 : Measuring, Calibrating and Integrating the MQ-2 Sensor

1. Measurement methodology with the MQ-2: preheat time, sensitivities, false alarms 2. Sensor calibration: potentiometer adjustment, calibration with controlled gas sources (lighter, alcohol, smoke) 3. MQ-2 limitations: cross-sensitivity, error factors, sensor lifespan 4. Practice: recording measurements with multimeter and data acquisition using an Arduino board

Module 3 : Exploitation with Microcontroller and Advanced Applications

1. Reading analog/digital signal via Arduino: wiring diagram, sample sketch (Arduino IDE) 2. Software processing: alert thresholds, noise filtering, serial monitor display 3. Implementation of alert systems (LED, buzzer, possible WiFi notification) 4. Real-world application examples: connected smoke detector, environmental monitoring, home security 5. Project practice: building a mini gas/smoke detection project with alert

Complete training: access and practical arrangements

The Complete Training: MQ-2 Sensor — Gas Detection, Measurement and Integration on Microcontroller program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Complete Training: MQ-2 Sensor — Gas Detection, Measurement and Integration on Microcontroller program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Complete training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
