what's flame sensor
The Flame Sensor detects flames by the special infrared receiver to capture the infrared rays of a specific wavelength in the flames. It supports a detection angle of as high as 60 degrees and works within -25 - 85℃. When in use, you need to pay attention and do not place the probe of the sensor too close to the flames in case of damages. Besides, the sensor can be used to detect light intensity. It can detect a light source with a wavelength of 760 - 1100nm. Pin A outputs the analog data collected by the sensor. You can adjust the potentiometer on the module to set the alarm threshold of the sensor. So when the value reaches the threshold, pin S will switch between High and Low.

Click “flash” and download the code onto the micro:bit. The flame sensor, as its name suggests, is most sensitive to the flame, of course, it also responds to ordinary light. We can see the changes of data clearly on the serial monitor when we put the flame of the lighter close to the flame sensor.

Compile and download the sketch to the UNO R3 board.

Open the Serial Monitor in Arduino IDE. Then you'll see the data detected by the Flame Sensor module on the window. The data includes two parts: “Flame”/“No flame” and “Flame intensity”.

(code path: /home/Adeept_Sensor_Kit_for_RPi_C_Code/17_flame/flame.c)

Step 3: Compile

$ sudo gcc flame.c -o flame -lwiringPi

Step 4: Run

$ sudo ./flame

For Python users:

Step 2: Edit and save the code with vim or nano.

(code path: /home/Adeept_Sensor_Kit_for_RPi_Python_Code/17_flame.py)

Step 3: Run
