Arduino TCS3200 Color Sensor

OVERVIEW:

This is a simple colour sensor using ArduinoUno R3 and TCS3200 colour sensor module. It can be useful for colouridentification and detection for food-processing units, colour printerapplications, paint-mixing applications and other industrial applicationsincluding robotics.

This project is used for detecting primarycolours (red, green and blue, or RGB)—colours that are physically available inLEDs in one package; for example, common cathode or common-cathode RGB LED. Wecan display primary colours and also generate specific colours by modifying theArduino 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
