Course Introduction

In this lesson, you’ll use two servo motors, a Flame Sensor Module, a water pump driven by an L9110 motor driver, and Arduino to create a tracking fire extinguisher system.

The servos continuously scan the area with the flame sensor and water pump. When a flame is detected, the pump automatically activates to spray water toward the detected direction, creating a simple fire tracking and extinguishing effect.

Note

If this is your first time working with an Arduino project, we recommend downloading and reviewing the basic materials first.
