In this project, we will learn how to make a PC and Analog MQ-5 LPG Gas Sensor based Wireless LPG Gas Monitoring and Alarm System with AVR ATmega16 Microcontroller and LCD Display using Series 2 Zig Bee. Here, we will display and monitor the concentration of LPG Gas wirelessly from a PC/Laptop using Zig Bee and 16X2 Alphanumeric LCD. Also, we will compare the concentration of LPG Gas with a threshold value continuously and when the concentration of LPG Gas is greater than the threshold value, alert signal is sent to buzzer and to PC wirelessly.

Since, the output of the Analog MQ-5 LPG Gas 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-5 LPG Gas Sensor to the Zig Bee through USART communication protocol. This Zig Bee transmits the digital value of Analog MQ-5 LPG Gas 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-5 LPG Gas Sensor and transmits that to the PC/Laptop through a USB to Serial converter cable. In the PC, the RealTerm Software receives  the digital value of Analog MQ-5 LPG Gas Sensor and displays it. Apart from PC/Laptop, microcontroller will display the Analog MQ-5 LPG Gas Sensor value in 16X2 Alphanumeric LCD. Also, the ATmega16 microcontroller will compare the output of Analog MQ-5 LPG Gas Sensor value with a threshold value(here the threshold value is 700) continuously and when the Analog MQ-5 LPG Gas 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 use a lighter as a LPG gas source near Analog MQ-5 LPG Gas Sensor and we will see the change in concentration of LPG Gas in PC, alphanumeric LCD and Buzzer.
