MICS 4514 producing 0ppm
abhi_kdsc 2023-06-03 04:07:31 810 Views5 Replies I'm using mics 4514 gas sensor which shows values when brought near very high concentration but when brought in open air showing 0.00ppm for all gases. I'm confused if it is not working for lower concentration or it is defective since the datasheet shows the range from 0 to 1000. please help
Ethanol: 0.00 PPM
Methane: 0.00 PPM
Hydrogen: 0.00 PPM
Ammonia: 0.00 PPM
Carbon_Monoxide: 0.00 PPM
Nitrogen_Dioxide: 0.00 PPM
I'm using the provided library and example code
I am using the sensor MICS-4514, which gives the same code without any changes. I checked connections and addresses by the I2C scanner, but the sensor still shows 0.00ppm for every parameter like C2H50H, NH3, NO2, and CO. What do I have to do now? Can you please help me with this problem?
Tugeendharnadh.Bokka but I am getting adc value very perfectly means red_data and ox_data but coming to here separate parameters like no2,nh3,co and c2h50h it is showing only 0.00ppm in serial monitor , iam using mics-4514 I2C sensor module with Arduino uno controller with 5v of power supply, can you please resolve this problem what is wrong here
Hello Dears,
I'm using ESPHome with a D1 mini and I'm facing same issue.
Once turned on, after 3min in the log I have data saying that each of those values are at 0ppm.
I put a Smoke/cigarette next to it for 1 min and still 0 ppm for all.
Even after 24h of continuous run, I still have 0 ppm reported.
Could you please help us on the matter ?
Johann.Sax This sensor has a warm up time of 3 mins. Have you given this time?

bidrohini.bidrohini That is not it; when you don't call the function to warmup the baseline values are not set and hence the sensor readings are useless.
The driver is poorly written…
