Hello,
I need to build a robot that can detect and differentiate the color of burning candles and put them out for a project. I was looking at some IR range finders and color sensors and there were many choices but there aren't many thermal sensors.
Can someone tell me if this thermal sensor is any good?
Devantech 8 Pixel Thermal Array Sensor | Robot Sensors - RobotShop
On it's website, there is a line that says, "Although useful in robotics, their applications are limited as they are unable to detect and measure the temperature of a static heat source", so I am not sure about it.
if it is not good, please give me some suggestion on how to detect a candle.
Thank you very much for your time.
