How to use flame sensor - Simple tutorial
Thursday, April 27, 2017This is a simple, brief guide to use or test your Flame sensor with arduino for first time.
When the Flame sensor is dictates fire LED will glow.
Parts required
- Arduino UNO/Nano (any arduino board)
- Flame sensor module
- Jumper cables
- LED bulb
Steps
- Connect +ve (long leg) of LED to Arduino pin 2
- Connect -ve (short leg) of LED to Arduino pin GND
- Connect + of flame sensor to Arduino pin 5V
- Connect A0 of flame sensor to Arduino pin A0
- Connect G of flame sensor to Arduino pin GND

Source code for flame sensor with aduino.
// Visit : robotechmaker.com
int firePin = A0; //the analog pin connected to the flame sensor's analoge output
int ledPin = 2; //the digital pin connected to the LED's input
void setup() {
// initialize serial communication @ 9600 baud:
pinMode(firePin, INPUT);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// read the sensor
int sensorReading = analogRead(firePin);
// LED connected to pin 2
pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
// READING FROM FLAME SENSOR IS REVERSE
// WHEN FIRE DETECT THE SENSOR VALUE DECREASE
if (sensorReading < 500) // READING FROM FLAME SENSOR IS REVERSE
{
digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
Serial.print("Fire ditected");
}
delay(50); // delay between reads
}
