Heat/Flame detection with SEN0158 IR Camera
anonymous 2016-05-23 19:40:02 2503 Views3 Replies Hi,
I just purchased the SEN-0158 IR camera and have some questions about detecting IR sources.
Are pullup resistors required for the I2C lines ? What resistance should these be ?
How do I get it to detect flames or other heat sources ? My test with the Arduino sample code showed there was no problem picking up an IR LED emitter that was powered, but it repeatedly fail to see the heat signature of a soldering iron or the flame of a small handheld cooking torch.
How do I get the sensor to detect heat sources and not just electronic IR LEDs ?
Thanks!

Pullup resistors are not required for the I2C lines. And what the sensor detect is the wavelength of light, so you cannot get the heat signature of a soldering iron. Before that, we test the sensor with a lighter is good, so maybe the wavelength of your fire is not within the range of test. Maybe you can change another fire to do a test .
