FLAME DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION
Arduino fire-safety system: detect, alarm, pump

About this project
A small fire-safety system built on an Arduino Nano. An infrared flame sensor watches continuously; when it sees a flame, a buzzer sounds, a red LED replaces the green standby light, and a pump starts to spray water.
It was a team of four, and I led the team, worked on the build and did QA. Our write-up described a cooldown period after each activation, but the firmware never implemented it: an early lesson in keeping documentation and code in step.
