Microduino-ColorDetector

The product number of Sensor-Color Detector is: MSDT51

Microduino-Color detector is a color detection sensor.

This module adopts TCS3414CS color chip. Based on 8×2 filtered photodiode and 16-bit analog-digital converter, you can measure light or light reflection on the surface of an object to acquire color value.

Introduction of Sensor Pins

Pins of the sensor: PIN1: GND PIN2: VCC General signal pins: PIN3(IO1): digital/analog signal PIN4(IO2): NC(null) Special signal pins: If it is IIC: IO1/IO2 are respectively SDA/SCL. If it is soft serial port: IO1/IO2 are respectively tx/rx.

Special to Sensor-Color Detector sensor pins PIN1: GND PIN2: VCC PIN3(IO1): SDA(IIC communication) PIN4(IO2): SCL(IIC communication) Microduino sensor can communicate with core module through the connection with Microduino-Module Sensor Hub.
