Infrared IR Flame Sensor Detection Module:

The Infrared IR Flame Sensor Detection Module is a highly responsive flame-detection sensor designed to identify infrared light emitted by fire. This module is ideal for Arduino fire detection projects, robotic automation, smart safety systems, and STEM education setups. It detects light within the wavelength range of 760nm to 1100nm, enabling it to spot a flame or fire source even in well-lit environments.

Powered by 3.3V to 5V DC, the module includes a high-sensitivity infrared receiving diode, an LM393 comparator chip, and adjustable threshold detection using an onboard potentiometer. Its compact design and dual-output functionality (analog and digital) make it perfect for integration into a variety of platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ESP32, and other microcontrollers.
