Abstract:
In this project we are going to interface TCS3200 color sensor with Arduino UNO. TCS3200 is a color sensor which can detect any number of colors with right
programming. TCS3200 contains RGB (Blue,Green, Red) arrays. As shown this fi
gure on microscopic level one can see the square boxes inside the eye on sensor.
These square boxes are arrays of RGB matrix. Each of these boxes contain three
sensors, one is for sensing BLUE light intensity, one is for sensing GREEN light
intensity and the last in for sensing RED light intensity. Each of sensor arrays in these arrays selected separately depending on requirement. The particular color can be feature to
sense by module and leave the colors. It contains filters for that selected purpose. There is forth mode that is no filter mode with no filter mode the sensor detects white light.
Description:
The Color sensor module based on TCS3200 that is a programmable colorlight-tofrequency converter, it could filter RGB data source from light and convert it to a square wave(50% duty cycle) with frequency straight proportional to light intensity (irradiance).The fullscale output frequency canbe scaled by one of three scheduled values via two control input pins(SO, S1Selectable Options 2%, 20%, 100% frequency),and pin S2, S3 control the filter of RGB.
