The occurrence of accidental fires in sugarcane plantations is a significant cause of pre-harvest loss in the sugar industry, particularly during arid seasons. This paper introduces the conceptualization and implementation of a microcontroller-based prototype system for mitigating accidental fires in sugar cane plantations. The proposed system enco...

... a detection angle of approximately 60 degrees (Microcontrollerslab, 2022), a minimum of six sensors are necessary to cover a full 360-degree area. As the PIR sensors have a maximum detection range of 7 meters, it is recommended to maintain a spacing (d) of 14 meters between two sensor poles for optimal coverage ( Figure 5). ...
