Color Sensor
From Microduino Wiki
ContentsOutlineMicroduino-Color detector is a color detection senor. This module adopts TCS3414CS color chip and it can be connected through IIC interface. 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. Specification
UsageWhen using, if it is to detect the color of light, then the sensor on the LED needs to close, and aims the light directly to the sensor. If it is to detect the color of objects, you need to open the sensor on the LED and aims it to the object.  DevelopmentDevice

 Extended ReadingThe color sensor uses the TCS3414CS color chip, which contains 4 channels: red (R), green (G), blue (B), blank (C), and the data of these 4 channels can be transformed into X and Y values. This transformation is based on the Internationale de l Eclairage Commission (CIE) standard.
The transformation is carried out by the following equation: Video |
