ESP8266 Flame Sensor Project

This project demonstrates how to interface a flame sensor with an ESP8266 microcontroller. The sensor detects the presence of a flame and displays the result on the Serial Monitor.

Components Needed

Circuit Diagram

Circuit Setup

1.Connecting the Flame Sensor to ESP8266:

vcc: Connect to the 3.3V pin on the ESP8266.

gnd: Connect to the GND pin on the ESP8266.

out: Connect to the D5 pin (GPIO 14) on the ESP8266.

Instructions

1.Code Upload:

Open the Arduino IDE with ESP8266 board support installed.

Create a new sketch and paste the provided Arduino code.

Connect the ESP8266 to your computer, select the appropriate board and port from the Tools menu.

Upload the code to the ESP8266.

2.Testing:

After uploading the code, open the Serial Monitor.

You should see messages indicating whether a flame is detected or not printed to the Serial Monitor every half second.

Applications

Fire Detection: Use the flame sensor for fire detection and alarm systems.

Safety Systems: Integrate into safety systems to detect and respond to the presence of fire.

Home Automation: Use for smart home applications to enhance safety and security.

Notes

Sensitivity Adjustment: Some flame sensors have a potentiometer to adjust sensitivity. Calibrate as necessary for accurate detection.

Power Supply: Ensure a stable power supply to the ESP8266 and flame sensor.
