Maxuino/Arduino flame sensor

A flame sensor can be used to sense a flame and is a High sensitivity IR receiver.

  • Extremely sensitive to wavelengths between 760-1100nm
  • Power supply indicator lamp
  • Comparator output indicator lamp
  • AO, real-time thermister voltage signal output
  • DO, high/low electric level signal output
  • Analog quantity output
  • Threshold rollover electric level output
  • Threshold adjusted by potentiometer
  • Detection Angle Range: About 60 degrees
  • Power Supply: 0-15 V DC
  • Hole Inner Diameter: Approx. 3mm
  • Size (L x W): Approx. 36 x 16mm

Arduino CODE for Flame Sensor

 

/*

fade2


This program is similar to the fade sketch,

however, the brightness of the LED is proportional

to the intensity of the IR source on the phototransistor.

*/


int ledPin = 9;          // the PWM pin that the LED is connected to

int photoCktVinPin = A5; // analog input pin used for phototrans circuit Vin

int brightness = 0;      // map value between phototrans input to LED output

const int backgroundIROffset = 20;  // helps remove some background IR sources


void setup() {

//declare the led pin to be an output

pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

}


void loop() {

//read in the phototransistor circuit Vout level

brightness = analogRead(photoCktVinPin) + backgroundIROffset;


//map value to LED brightness scale

brightness = map(brightness, 0, 1023, 255, 0);


//set PWM value for LED source

analogWrite(ledPin,brightness);

}
