A simple Heat sensor
The circuit is quite self explanatory. The LM358 OpAmp is used in the comparator mode. The IR (photodiode) is used in a potential divider in a reverse bias mode. A threshold voltage is set at the inverting terminal of the OpAmp using a potentiometer. So when the Infra Red light reflects from a HEATER surface, the resistance of the photodiode would decrease and this in turn when exceeds the threshold voltage will make the output of the OpAmp go high.Output at pin 7 of comparator saturates transistor BC548 NPN which in turn switch on the Buzzer LM 358 has two OpAmps in its 8 pin package, thus two IRsensors could be built out of 1 IC. We can also use LM 324 which has 4 OpAmps inside it.
