Objective

Here we adopt a color sensor to read color value from a object around you and the LED light on the sensor will turn to the corresponding color as the object.

Program Description

  • Control pin description
#define PIN 6

Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(1, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
  • Color matching
  redValue=map(red, 1024, 2048, 0, 255);
  greenValue=map(green, 1800, 2824, 0, 255);
  //blueValue=map(blue, 1024, 2048, 0, 255);
  blueValue=map(blue, 1024, 1792, 0, 255);

Hardware Buildup

  • Setup 1: Connect the color sensor to IIC of Sensorhub and LED light to D6.

In bad light, you can turn off LED light on the color sensor. Get the dice in the middle of the color sensor close to any object with different color and the led light will change accordingly.

Result

You can DIY your LEGO chameleon. Just put the color sensor close the object and the color of the LED light will change to the same as the object.
