Getting Started with Maker UNO RP2040

Microcontroller: Maker UNO RP2040

1. Flame Detector:

This project utilizes the Maker UNO RP2040 to create a flame detection system. The system employs a flame sensor to detect the presence of fire or flames. When a flame is detected, the output is indicated by a green LED. In the absence of a flame, a red LED is illuminated. This setup provides a simple yet effective way to monitor for potential fire hazards.
