Needs some tuning
Took me a while to get the threshold right. Works now but documentation was sparse for beginners.

Great for Arduino projects
Works perfectly with my Uno. Sensitivity is adjustable via the potentiometer. Very responsive to lighter flames.
Q: Does this work with 5V Arduino boards?
A: Yes, it operates comfortably within 3.3V to 5V DC, so it is compatible with most Arduino boards.
Q: What is the difference between 3-wire and 4-wire?
A: The 4-wire version includes an additional analog output pin for signal strength measurement, while 3-wire is digital only.
Q: What is the max detection range?
A: Typically up to 100cm, but this depends on flame size and intensity during operation.
Q: Is the output analog or digital?
A: This module provides a digital switching output. The 4-wire version may include an analog pin depending on the batch.
Q: Can I use this module outdoors?
A: It is designed for indoor prototyping. Direct sunlight may interfere with IR detection accuracy.
