Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into the desired
mikroBUS™socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS™socket. If all the pins
are aligned correctly, push the
board all the way into the socket.
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder
the pins carefully.
Turn the board upside down so that
the bottom side is facing you upwards.
Place shorter pins of the header into the
appropriate soldering pads.
Before using your click™board, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left
and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male
headers are included with the board in
the package.
Air quality click™is suitable for detecting
ammonia (NH3), nitrogen oxides (NOx)
benzene, smoke, CO2and other harmful or
poisonous gases that impact air quality. The
MQ-135 sensor unit has a sensor layer made
of tin dioxide (SnO2), an inorganic compound
which has lower conductivity in clean air
than when polluting gases are present. Air
quality click™also contains a potentiometer
that lets you adjust the sensor for the
environment you’ll be using it in.
1. Introduction
Air quality click™is a simple solution
for adding a high sensitivity sensor for
detecting a variety of gases that impact
air quality in homes and oces. The board
features an MQ-135 sensor, a calibration
potentiometer, a mikroBUS™host socket,
two jumpers and a power indicator LED.
Air quality click™communicates with the
target board through mikroBUS™AN (OUT)
line. Air quality click™is designed to use a
5V power supply only.

MikroElektronika oers free tech support
(www.mikroe.com/support) until the end
of the product’s lifetime, so if something
goes wrong, we’re ready and willing to help!
Once you have done all the necessary
preparations, it’s time to get your click™board
up and running. We have provided examples
for mikroC™, mikroBasic™and mikroPascal™
compilers on our Libstock website. Just
download them and you are ready to start.
To calibrate Air quality click™for optimum
performance, use the on-board potentiom-
eter to adjust the load resistance on the
sensor circuit.
