Lesson 13: Detecting flame using Arduino

This lecture focues on very basic flame sensor which detects elements of infrared and triggers an action like turning a buzzer ON or OFF and a relay can be controlled to turn ON/OFF an AC or DC load.


 /*
 * Lecture 13 Flame Sensor
 * Arduino code for flame sensor
 * turn a relay ON which the relay
 * can turn a light or alarm ON
* flame sensor is connected to pin 2
 * Relay is connected to pin 8
