Ks0116 keyestudio EASY plug Flame Sensor Module
Introduction
The flame sensor can be used to detect fire or other wavelength at 760nm ~1100nm light.
In the fire-fighting robot game, the flame plays an important role in the probe, which can be used as the robot's eyes to find fire source.
The potentiometer on the flame sensor can be used to adjust the sensitivity.
Note: this module should be used together with EASY plug control board.

Connect It Up
Connect the EASY Plug Flame Sensor and LED module to control board using RJ11 cables. Then connect the control board to your PC with a USB cable.
Upload the Code
Below is an example code. Open or drag below code to Mixly Blocks and upload.
What You Should See
Done uploading the code, put a lighter close to the flame sensor. Once the sensor detects the flame, the led lights up.
If isn’t, you are able to adjust the sensitivity by a potentiometer.
Little Knowledge:
- You are able to adjust the sensitivity by a blue potentiometer on the sensor.
Simulating Fire Extinguisher
Let’s go into an interesting project. When detecting the flame by flame sensor, the fan motor will rotate to blow out the fire.

Test Code
What You Should See
Done uploading the code, put a lighter close to the flame sensor. Once the sensor detects the flame, you should see the fan motor rotate.
