Arduino Flame Sensor Interface
Arduino Flame Sensor Interface
Safety is must and should step to be take. It had to for house, building or
device and many more. The first step to protecting lives and property from the
consequences of fires is setting up a high-quality fire alarm system.
Flame Sensors, Smoke Sensors, Fire Alarms etc. are part of safety
equipment that helps us in keeping our homes, offices and stores safe from fire
accidents. In this project, we interface Flame Sensor with Arduino and learn all the
steps to build a Fire Alarm System by using Arduino and flame sensor. The flame
sensor module has photodiode to detect the light and op-amp to control the
sensitivity. It is used to detect fire and provide a HIGH signal upon the detection.
Arduino reads the signal and provides alert by turning on the buzzer and LED. The
flame sensor used here is an IR based flame sensor.
Make the necessary connections and upload the code to Arduino UNO. To test the functionality
of the flame sensor, place a fired lighter or a match stick in front of the sensor.
Under normal conditions, the output from the Flame Sensor is HIGH. When the sensor detects
any fire, its output becomes LOW.
Arduino detects this LOW signal on its input pin and activates the Buzzer.
Almost all modern houses, apartments, malls, cinema halls, theatres, office
buildings and shops are equipped with such safety equipment and it is mandatory
in some regions to fire safety devices.
Commercial fire safety devices are advanced with a lot of complex circuitry.
If you want to implement a DIY Fire or Flame detection application, then this
project might be helpful.
