Build a Kitchen Gas Leak Alarm with the Pi Pico Gas Detector Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Every day, kitchens across India depend on LPG or piped gas, and a small leak can silently turn into a major hazard. This kit lets you build a compact, wall-mountable gas leak detector that buzzes loudly when it sniffs gas, giving your family a safety edge. In just a few hours, you’ll have a practical device that sits discreetly near the stove, ready to alert you before trouble starts.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a working gas detector that uses the MQ-2 sensor to measure combustible gas concentration. When levels exceed a safe threshold, the active buzzer sounds and red LEDs flash, alerting anyone in the kitchen. The entire circuit fits inside a tidy ABS enclosure that can be mounted near the gas stove or cylinder.

What You'll Learn

• How to interface an analog gas sensor with Raspberry Pi Pico using ADC
• Threshold-based alert logic: writing if-else conditions in MicroPython
• Driving buzzers and LEDs as output actuators
• Mounting and insulating electronics in a real-world enclosure
