STEP3: Explanation
How it works.
Basically what happens is when you bring IR light source (e.g. Fire, TV Remote) with wavelength between 760nm ~ 1100nm the voltage across our IR sensor drops. The new voltage is recorded by the arduino and if its lower than our set threshold the alarm goes off and our Red LEDs start flashing.
