Project 1 of 3 Sensing

Flame direction indicator

Shows which sensor channel sees the strongest IR source so students can learn directional sensing.

One of 3 projects in the Fire Detection & Sensor Learning Kit — the parts below are from that kit.

// How it works

What you build in this project

Flame direction indicator is one focused build from the Fire Detection & Sensor Learning Kit. It uses the parts listed below to make a working electronics example, then you can combine it with the other projects in the kit.

Shows which sensor channel sees the strongest IR source so students can learn directional sensing.

Parts used

5-channel flame sensor, Arduino UNO, LEDs

What to check

Wire the parts, upload the sketch from the kit page, then test this project by watching the Serial Monitor or the output behavior.

What you learn

You learn how the controller reads real sensor signals, makes a decision in code, and turns that result into a useful output.
