Flame Monitor 3.0

Course Introduction

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use a Flame Sensor, an I2C LCD Display, and the Arduino UNO R4 to monitor fire intensity. The LCD shows real-time readings, while buzzer provide sound alerts for different flame levels.

Note

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

Writing the Code

Note
You can copy this code into Arduino IDE.
To install the library, use the Arduino Library Manager and search for LiquidCrystal_I2C and install it.
Don’t forget to select the board(Arduino UNO R4 Minima/WIFI) and the correct port before clicking the Upload button.
