Arduino TCS3200 Color Sensor

OVERVIEW:

This is a simple colour sensor using Arduino Uno R3 and TCS3200 colour sensor module. It can be useful for colour identification and detection for food-processing units, colour printer applications, paint-mixing applications and other industrial applications including robotics.

This project is used for detecting primary colours (red, green and blue, or RGB)—colours that are physically available in LEDs in one package; for example, common cathode or common-cathode RGB LED. We can display primary colours and also generate specific colours by modifying the Arduino code. The project demonstrates the basic interfacing of TCS3200 sensor, Arduino Uno and common-cathode RGB LED.

Features:

• Programmable colour light-to-frequency converter
• Output Enable (OE) pin
• Output frequency scaling
• Available in 5mm x 6.2mm SOIC (D) package
