Flame Sensor

The Flame Sensor Module is designed to detect flames within the 760-1100 nanometer wavelength range, making it an essential component for fire detection in robotics and automation projects. Capable of detecting small flames, such as a lighter flame, from up to 0.8 meters away, this sensor is highly sensitive to the flame spectrum, with a detection angle of approximately 60 degrees.

Equipped with an on-board LM393 op-amp comparator, this module allows for easy adjustment of sensitivity via a blue potentiometer. It features both digital and analog outputs, making it versatile for various applications. The YG1006 sensor, a high-speed, high-sensitivity NPN silicon phototransistor, ensures reliable flame detection, particularly sensitive to infrared radiation due to its black epoxy.

This Flame Sensor Module is perfect for integration into firefighting robots, where it can act as the robot’s “eyes” to locate fire sources. Upon detecting a flame, the Signal LED lights up, and the D0 pin goes LOW, providing immediate feedback for quick response.
