The ESP8266 IR Flame Sensor project demonstrates how to use an IR flame sensor with an ESP8266 microcontroller to detect the presence of a flame. The sensor detects infrared light emitted by flames and sends signals to the ESP8266, which interprets and displays the detection status on the Serial Monitor.
- ESP8266 Microcontroller
- IR Flame Sensor Module
- Jumper Wires
- Power Supply
- Connecting the IR Flame Sensor:
- Signal Pin: Connect to GPIO pin D2 on the ESP8266.
- VCC: Connect to a 3.3V or 5V pin on the ESP8266, depending on sensor requirements.
- GND: Connect to a GND pin on the ESP8266 for common ground.
-
Setup:
- Upload the provided Arduino code to the ESP8266 using the Arduino IDE.
- Open the Serial Monitor to view the flame detection status.
-
Testing:
- Ensure the IR flame sensor is correctly positioned and powered.
- Observe the Serial Monitor for real-time updates on flame detection ("Flame detected!" or "No flame detected.").
- Fire Detection Systems: Use in fire alarm systems for early flame detection.
- Safety Systems: Integrate into safety devices to alert users to potential fire hazards.
- Industrial Automation: Implement in industrial processes to monitor flame presence.
- Sensor Sensitivity: Adjust sensor sensitivity as needed to optimize flame detection accuracy.
- Environmental Considerations: Place the IR flame sensor away from direct sunlight and other sources of infrared light interference.
- Power Management: Ensure stable power supply to the ESP8266 and IR flame sensor for reliable operation.
