   CO2 Sensor Gas:

This script allows you to use a analog c02 gas sensor [like the one in the link below]:

http://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1023&search=co2&description=true#.VjeKyXzhDVM

Procedure:

>warm sensor up and take a reading of two known c02 solutions  [note down ADC readout and c02 ppm]

>plug the numbers into the top of the code [Lines 28-31]

>see if it works with a amonia solution between the min and max you calibrated with.

other info:

>Burn Sensor in for a hour or so before stable readings will be had

>Sensor needs time to warm up after being powered up
