BuiltByTyler Sensor Kit - S07 ALCOHOL MQ-3 (MQ-3)
Board: ESP32-WROOM-32 DevKit V1 (30-pin), Arduino-ESP32 core 3.x, "ESP32 Dev Module"
Prints the MQ-3 alcohol level (AO) and the alarm output (DO).
DO goes LOW when the level passes the threshold set by the blue pot.
Heater runs on 5 V (VIN, so USB power); AO/DO stay under 3.3 V (ESP32-safe).
Needs 24-48 h burn-in for accurate numbers and ~1 min warm-up every time.
Wiring (module pin -> ESP32 pin):
GND -> GND
5V -> VIN (5V) - needs USB power
AO -> GPIO 34
DO -> GPIO 4
Library: none needed
Serial Monitor: 115200 baud
