Flame Sensor
The Flame Sensor project utilizes an Arduino Mega along with a flame sensor module to detect the presence of a flame. The flame sensor outputs a digital signal that indicates whether a flame is detected or not. This project will demonstrate how to interface the flame sensor with the Arduino Mega, read its digital output, and display the detection status on the Serial Monitor of Arduino IDE.
Components Needed
- Arduino Mega
