Objective:
1.To monitor the ambient environmental condition using TMP36 and MQ2 sensors in
Tinkercad.

Components list:

Theory:
The TMP36 sensor this sensor uses the property of diodes; as a diode changes temperature the
voltage changes with it at a known rate. The sensor measures the small change and outputs an
analog voltage between 0 and 1.75VDC based on it. We can obtain the temperature from utilizing
the formula: temperature=((vout*5/1023)-0.5)*100;

MQ2 gas sensor is an electronic sensor used for sensing the concentration of gases in the air such as
LPG, propane, methane, hydrogen, alcohol, smoke and carbon monoxide. Based on the
concentration of the gas the sensor produces a corresponding potential difference by changing the
resistance of the material inside the sensor, which can be measured as output voltage.

Result Analysis:
We were able to monitor the environmental temperature and the toxicity of the environment using
these sensors. Two different cases were considered here, one with 220 ohm resistor and the other
with 1 kilo ohm resistor. We developed a code in such a way that if the temperature goes beyond 60
degrees Celsius the led will turn on, likewise, if the harmful gases, smoke, and natural gas leakage
number goes beyond 100, then the buzzer will start beeping. Further in this experiment different
values of resistors were considered to experiment on the sensitivity and it was concluded that the use
of 1k ohm resistor was more sensitive than the use of 220 ohm resistor

Conclusion & Inference:

We were able to monitor the ambient environmental condition using TMP36 and MQ2 sensors in
Tinkercad and further we were also able to comment on the sensitivity by using multiple values of a
resistor to perform the same experiment.
