In this project, we will learn how to make a PC and Analog MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor based Wireless Alcohol Monitoring and Alarm System with AVR ATmega16 Microcontroller and 7 Segment Display using Series 2 Zig Bee. Here, we will display and monitor the concentration of Alcohol wirelessly from a PC/Laptop using Zig Bee and 4 multiplexed Common Anode 7-Segment Displays. Also, we will compare the concentration of Alcohol with a threshold value continuously and when the concentration of Alcohol is greater than the threshold value, alert signal is sent to buzzer and to PC wirelessly.

Since, the output of the Analog MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor is analog in nature and these analog signals cannot be processed directly by the ATmega16 microcontroller. So, first this signal needs to be converted to digital value to be processed by the microcontroller. The conversion can be done with the help of ADC of the AVR ATmega16 microcontroller. After converting the analog signal to digital, the microcontroller will send the digital value of Analog MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor to the Zig Bee through USART communication protocol. This Zig Bee transmits the digital value of Analog MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor wirelessly to another Zig Bee connected with the PC/Laptop. At the PC/Laptop end, Zig Bee receives the  digital value of Analog MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor and transmits that to the PC/Laptop through a USB cable. In the PC, the RealTerm Software receives the digital value of Analog MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor and displays it. Apart from PC/Laptop, microcontroller will display the Analog MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor value in 4 multiplexed Common Anode 7-Segment Displays. Also, the ATmega16 microcontroller will compare the output of Analog MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor value with a threshold value(here the threshold value is 700) continuously and when the Analog MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor output value is greater than the threshold value, at that time the ATmega16 microcontroller will send alert signal to buzzer and to PC through Zig Bee. After getting the alert signal, buzzer starts beeping and PC displays the alert signal in the RealTerm Software.

Now, we will place cotton dipped in Alcohol/Spirit near Analog MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor and we will see the change in concentration of Alcohol in PC, 7-Segment Displays and Buzzer.
