Flame Sensor Module YS-17 – 5mm IR Probe

The YS-17 Flame Sensor Module is a compact infrared sensor built around a 5mm photodiode probe that responds to the light emitted by an open flame. It is a popular choice for makers, students, and hobbyists building fire-detection, safety, and alarm projects with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and similar microcontroller boards. The module gives you a quick, low-cost way to add flame awareness to your electronics setup at home, in the lab, or on a workbench.

Key features

• YS-17 module with a sensitive 5mm infrared flame probe.
• Detects the IR light given off by a nearby flame or fire source.
• Compatible with common microcontroller boards such as Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.
• Small, lightweight board that fits easily on a breadboard or inside a project enclosure.
• Simple wiring for quick prototyping and learning.

Typical uses

• Fire and flame detection demos and school science projects.
• DIY safety alarms and warning systems.
• Robotics challenges like flame-following or fire-fighting robots.
• Learning sensors and microcontroller programming.

How to choose / tips

Confirm the module matches the input pins on your board and mount the 5mm probe facing the area you want to monitor. Keep it away from strong direct sunlight, which can interfere with infrared readings, and test the trigger distance for your project before final installation.
