Get Familiar with Thonny and CircuitPython

In this tutorial, we'll use Thonny editor & CircuitPython to build the code for this project. If you're not familiar with Thonny, check out the video below to learn how to get started with it.

Code

Project complete

The code runs an infinite loop, checking the flame sensor for fire detection. If a fire is detected, it activates the water pump for 5 seconds and then turns it off.
