Infrared Flame Sensor Module

Description

What it is

The Flame Fire Sensor is an infrared detection module designed to detect the presence of flames or heat. This sensor uses advanced infrared technology to ensure high precision in flame detection.

Features

• Infrared technology
• Detects the presence of flames or heat

What it is for

Ideal for home security projects, the sensor can be used to create an alarm system that turns on a light when flames are detected. Compatible with Arduino and ESP.

Tutorial: How to use the Flame and Fire Sensor

The flame and fire sensor detects the presence of flames or heat. Ideal for home security projects.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• Jumper cable
• Breadboard
• 5V power supply

Steps

1. Connect the sensor to the breadboard.
2. Connect VCC to +5V of the Arduino.
3. Connect GND of the sensor to GND of the Arduino.
4. Connect the sensor output to a digital pin of the Arduino (e.g., 2).
5. Write and upload the Arduino sketch to read the sensor signal.
6. Verify the correct functioning of the sensor through LEDs or serial monitor.

Example code

const int sensorPin = 2;
void setup() {
pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, digitalRead(sensorPin));
Serial.println(digitalRead(sensorPin));
}

Mini project

Create an alarm system that turns on a light bulb when it detects flames.
