Grove - Flame Sensor, YG1006 sensor with high speed of 15 μS/cm & high sensitivity-ideal for Fire Alarm System
The Grove-Flame Sensor can be used to detect fire sources or other light sources of the wavelength in the range of 760nm - 1100 nm. It is based on the YG1006 sensor which is a high-speed and high-sensitive NPN silicon phototransistor. Due to its black epoxy, the sensor is sensitive to infrared radiation. With an extra buzzer and LED, you can easily build a fire alarm system.

Description
The Grove-Flame Sensor can be used to detect fire sources or other light sources of the wavelength in the range of 760nm - 1100 nm. It is based on the YG1006 sensor which is a high-speed and high-sensitive NPN silicon phototransistor. Due to its black epoxy, the sensor is sensitive to infrared radiation. As a result, the module is mainly used to detect infrared light. It outputs digital signals 0 and 1 through a Comparator output. The output value will be 0 when infrared light is detected. And the sensitivity is adjustable by the precision potentiometer.
For all Grove users (especially beginners), we provide you with guidance PDF documents. Please download and read through Preface - Getting Started and Introduction to Grove before your use of the product.
Application
- Fire fighting robot: the flame sensor plays a very important role as it can be used as a robot's eye to find the fire source. It also helps you learn the underlying concept of fire fighting robotics with a simple connection
- Fire detection prototypes: easily connect to the Seeeduion XIAO and a buzzer or a LED to make a flame detection alarm

Note
What is Grove?
Grove makes it easier to connect, experiment, and simplify the prototyping process. No jumpers or soldering are required. We have developed more than 300 Grove modules, covering a wide range of applications that can fulfill a variety of needs. Not only are these open hardware, but we also have open-source software.
