TCS230 color sensor for Arduino is used to determine the color of an object at a distance of 10 mm.

To use the sensor, it is necessary to collect on the basis of its layout

  • connect the power supply;
  • to connect to the controller;
  • to bring the sensor to the desired distance to the object of measurement.

If the LED light sensor, you can start work.

For TCS230 color sensor controller is required. How Come? A feature of this sensor is that it produces a frequency signal according to the color to which it is directed. TCS230 sensor is an RGB matrix of photodiodes, each of which responds to a different color. To determine the color, we need to measure the three spectra: red, blue, green. For this it is necessary to switch between the R, G, B signal and measure the frequency of sensor output OUT. For this you need a microcontroller. Each measurement data to be written to the memory controller, and will be carried out when all three dimensions - outstanding results.

TCS230 color sensor has two pin contacts pads on four pins each.

  • The left shoe has contacts:
    • GND - common contact;
    • OE - switching contact;
    • S1, S0 - output frequency with the zoom setting.
  • The right shoe has contacts:
    • S3, S2 - the input signal zoom setting;
    • OUT - output frequency;
    • VCC - power supply.

Power TCS230 color sensor is carried out by or on Arduino controller, or other control microprocessor device, or an external power supply (power supply, battery). Sensor supply voltage of 2.7 - 5.5V.
