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.
