Detect Candle Flames from 80cm — Flame Sensor Starter Kit with Arduino Uno

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Imagine building your own fire detection alarm that can spot a candle flame from across a room and display its intensity on a glowing LED bar. This Flame Sensor Starter Kit turns that idea into a working circuit in just an afternoon, using a real KY-026 infrared flame sensor and an Arduino Uno. You’ll assemble every component on a breadboard, upload a ready-to-tweak code, and watch the system react the moment a flame appears — an impressive hands-on project for young explorers and school exhibitions.

What You'll Build

You’ll create a flame detection circuit that triggers an active buzzer and lights up three red LEDs progressively as a flame gets closer. The analog intensity bar works like a fire proximity meter, giving a visual warning before the audible alarm goes off. It’s a compact, real-world safety demonstration that shows how early fire alerts can be built with simple electronics.

What You'll Learn

• How infrared flame sensors capture specific light wavelengths to detect fire
• Wiring digital and analog inputs to an Arduino Uno on a breadboard
• Writing Arduino code to read sensor signals and control multiple outputs
• Building an early-warning system logic with escalating LED indicators and buzzer

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit is designed for young innovators in ATL Tinkering Labs, CBSE Class 10–12 students exploring electronics, and hobbyists participating in Smart India Hackathon simpler challenges. B.Tech ECE and EEE freshmen at VIT, BITS, or NIT will find it a gentle introduction to sensor interfacing before tackling complex projects. Parents looking for a safe, screen-based learning activity for children as young as 5 will appreciate the guided build and quick results.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
