Flame Sensor Module for Arduino & Fire Detection Projects

Flame Sensor Infrared Receiver Module for Arduino & Fire Detection Projects

The Flame Sensor Infrared Receiver Module is a safety-oriented electronic sensor
designed to detect flames and fire sources by sensing infrared light emitted by fire.
It is commonly used in basic fire detection and alarm projects.

This module features an onboard potentiometer that allows users to adjust the sensitivity
according to the environment. When a flame is detected, the sensor produces a high digital
output signal and the onboard indicator LED lights up, making it easy to understand and debug.

Students can use this sensor to build projects such as fire alarm systems, flame detection
robots, safety monitoring models, and smart alert systems. It helps introduce the concept
of safety electronics and real-world sensor applications in STEM education.
