Kitchen Fire Alert Kit with Arduino Uno + Flame Sensor
Kitchen Fire Alert Kit: Build a Fire-Fighting Robot with Arduino Uno & Flame Sensor
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 a robot that spots a kitchen flame, drives toward it, and blows it out with a small fan. This kit transforms fire safety awareness into a tangible electronics and coding project, ideal for young learners who want to build something that reacts to the real world.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a two-wheeled robot chassis fitted with three flame sensors that detect fire direction and intensity. The Arduino Uno processes the signals, steers the robot toward the flame, and triggers a transistor-driven DC fan to extinguish a candle or small burner. The result is a fully autonomous fire-fighting robot ready for school demonstrations or science fairs.
What You'll Learn
- How to wire and calibrate KY-026 flame sensors to distinguish fire direction from ambient light.
- Motor control using the L298N driver and TT gear motors for precise forward, reverse, and turning movements.
- Transistor switching with a BC547 to safely power the 5V fan from an Arduino digital output.
- Programming logic that reads multiple sensors and decides where the robot should move to engage the flame.

Who This Kit Is For
School students from Class 5 to 10 exploring sensor-based automation for CBSE projects or ATL tinkering labs. Young inventors participating in school robotics competitions who need a guided, hands-on introduction to Arduino and flame detection. Maker clubs and parent-child teams looking for a weekend STEM activity with a real safety angle.
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.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to chat with the AI companion, which offers pin-by-pin guidance. You can also send a photo on WhatsApp and our support team will help troubleshoot.
Is this robot safe to use with real flames?
Yes, it is designed for small, controlled flames like a candle. Always supervise children and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Never expose the robot to large or uncontrolled fires.
Do I need coding experience to assemble this kit?
No, we provide pre-loaded code and circuit diagrams. Beginners aged 10+ can follow along, while younger builders may need an adult to assist with wire connections.
Can the robot navigate on its own once built?
Absolutely. The three flame sensors continuously scan for infrared light, and the Arduino calculates motor commands so the robot drives itself toward the hottest spot and activates the fan automatically.
Kitchen Fire — Flame sensors detect fire direction, robot navigates toward it and activates a small fan to extinguish.
