Hello! I am new to microcontrollers and only have experience with Arduino Uno. I want to create a fire detector that can preferably detect up to 10 feet.
[edit]I mean, detecting the presence of smoke, heat, or flames that could indicate a potential fire. The fire detector I want to create should be able to sense these fire-related signs in the surrounding environment (outdoors).
Are there any sensors or modules that I can use?
Try an IR detector with IR filter.
Define "fire"
Indoor: thermometer on the ceiling (until it melts).
I mean, detecting the presence of smoke, heat, or flames that could indicate a potential fire. The fire detector I want to create should be able to sense these fire-related signs in the surrounding environment. However, my main challenge is finding sensors that can work effectively within that distance (up to 10 feet). Thank you!
Sorry, I didn't specify. I need the fire detector to work outdoors.
Check out the various detectors used, for example, in the Trinity College robot fire-fighting contests. IR and UV photodiodes work fine, but you still need to detect fire in the presence of background UV and IR.
