Arduino Beginner Series: Project 12: Fire Sensor

Hello everyone!! Welcome to this post on Arduino LED Projects!!
Need a short introduction to what the Arduino is then click on LINK
Check out the breadboard intro right HERE

In this project we’ll build a fire sensor, which sounds off a buzzer and the red LED turns on when the fire sensors senses a fire nearby.

Demo:

This is how my project turned out:
But this system is a super sensitive because it responds even to a candle flame cause I can’t really light up a huge flame in my house 😅😅 . Though the sensitivity can be adjusted by changing the variable resistance (just turn the gold screw-like thing on the blue box mounted on the module).

Things Required:

1. Arduino UNO
2. Breadboard
3. Jumper Wires
4. Passive Buzzer Module
5. Fire Sensor Module
6. LEDs (1 red and 1 green)
7. 220 ohm resistor (x2)
8. Arduino IDE on computer

Functions used:

1. digitalWrite()
2. tone()
3. digitalRead()
4. pinMode()
5. delay()

Reference Material:

1. I actually made this one on my own but here’s a really nice reference video I found for you guys to follow. (LINK). If you guys want I’ll make a video of the version that I made.

Code:

View on/ Download from Github: (LINK)

int buzzer = 10;
int redled = 9;
int greenled = 8;
int fire = 11;
int dt = 50;
int fire_state;

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  pinMode(fire, INPUT);
  pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(redled, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(greenled, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  fire_state = digitalRead(fire);

  if (fire_state == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(redled, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(greenled, LOW);
    
    for (int i = 450; i < 550; i++) {
      tone(buzzer, i, 100);
      delay(dt);
    }

    for (int i = 550; i > 450; i--) {
      tone(buzzer, i, 100);
      delay(dt);
    }

  }  else {
    digitalWrite(redled, LOW);
    digitalWrite(greenled, HIGH);
  }

}
