Arduino is an organization which designs software and develops open source hardware and software based on microcontroller boards. Electronics projects are built using this open source board. Different types of Arduino boards are available like UNO, Lily pad, Nano, Mega etc. Arduino UNO is based on microcontroller ATMga328. It has 14 digital input/output pins, out of which 6 pins are PWM pins, 6 analog input pins, a USB connector to give 5 V DC power supply, quartz crystal with 16 MHz frequency, reset button and a power jack. It has 32 Kbytes of chip memory, out of which 0.5 kb is used by boot loader. It is a programmable circuit board, and programs can be written and uploaded on board using Arduino IDE.

With current technological advances, especially in the field of information and communication technology, this issue can be handled using a microcontroller; in this case, the microcontroller used was Arduino. Arduino is an open-source microcontroller derived from the Wiring platform and designed to facilitate electronic use in various fields. The hardware has an Atmel AVR processor and the software has its own programming language. Thus the use of sensors and the right logic can be used to create a tool through which to minimize the danger of the gas cylinder. Therefore, the authors have entitled this article “Designing a Portable LPG Gas Leak Detection and Fire Protection Device.”

Arduino is an open-source computer hardware and software-system corporation, venture, and user group that made and produce single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kitbag for making digital devices and interactive object that can sense and control object in the physical world. The project’s products are distributed as open-source software-system and hardware, which are registered under the “GNU General Public License,” “GNU Lesser General Public License” permit the manufacture of Arduino boards and software-system distribution by anyone. It saves data on FLASH, EEPROM.
Compositional interaction design—changes in design practice and its implications for teaching and research

However, the development of the Arduino board, initially launched in 2005, became a game changer for the practice surrounding tangible interaction design. The arduino board, launched as an open-source platform for building electronics, came with physical a programmable circuit board (a microcontroller) and a software (an Integrated Development Environment) that enabled interaction designers to write small computer programs and upload those to the physical board. Already at this point, we can see some compositional thinking in this design. Here the complexity of hardware programming is taken care of through the combination of a physical board and a software. However, that was only the start. Beyond this, the Arduino kit made the work of attaching and reading data from various sensors very easy. As illustrated in Figure 3, an Arduino starting kit includes an Arduino board, and a set of sensors, cables, etc., and it supports digital or analog pins (sensors/actuators) right from the start. With this set, the interaction designer can think more about how to combine different elements (sensors and other materials) into an interactive whole, instead of being occupied with thinking about core aspects of electronics, hardware making and low-level hardware programming.

Each low-cost sensing unit was comprised of two sensors (one oxidative gas sensor and one CO gas sensor), two adapters (one for each sensor, made by the Alphasense Ltd.), one microcontroller for reading and storing the voltages obtained from each sensor, and a custom-built circuit to connect and integrate all constituents built in-house. The microcontroller was developed to record detected signals by the sensors as a voltage (ranging between 0 and 5 V) on a memory card every 2.5 sec. The integrated circuit board was responsible for connecting the microcontroller to the sensor adaptors and implementing the electric voltage gains. To obtain proper resolution at the concentration range of interest, the electric voltage gain, the mean ratio of the voltage signal at the output port of the circuit to that of at the input of the circuit, was 5 for the oxidative gas sensor and 1 for the CO sensor. The integrating custom-built circuit (see Figure 1b) was an Arduino Yun board (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardYun). Arduino is an open-source and inexpensive electronics platform with an easy programming language for fast prototyping and creation of interactive communication between the sensor and the memory card. The Yun model of Arduino board used in this study provided the advantage of direct posting the recorded voltages over an embedded webserver software. The Arduino board was powered by connection to a 5-V electric supply and had the capability for wireless connection to a computer via Wi-Fi. The integrating board included circuitry that stored and transmitted voltages detected by the sensors. The recorded voltages were stored and appended in a text file after each 2.5 sec. Then, a Visual Basic for Application (VBA) code was developed to sort and average the data over 5 min periods.
