  *Rzero is the value of the resistor in the MQ-135 sensor in the presence of clean air. Where the CO <sub>2</sub> value is around 397.13 ppm as given below. The Rzero value varies for each individual sensor and can be found using another Arduino [[amc2021:groupl:extras:r0:start|code]]
  *RLOAD meanwhile is the external resistor value that is connected to the MQ-135 sensor, which in this case is 10kΩ. 
  *Important parameters are for calculating CO<sub>2</sub> of 116.6 and 2.79 are taken from a calibration graph as seen from the [[https://www.electronicoscaldas.com/datasheet/MQ-135_Hanwei.pdf|datasheet]]. This shows the sensitivity of the sensor varies for each gas.
