TCS3200 Color Recognition Module High Precision Color Detection Sensor Module For MCU Arduino and DIY Projects

Description:

The TCS3200 Color Sensor Module lets your microcontroller detect and identify colors using a high-quality sensor that combines Red, Green, and Blue filters. With onboard white LEDs for consistent lighting, it performs reliably in any ambient condition. All sensor pins are broken out to 0.1″ headers for easy integration with PCBs, breadboards, or stripboards. Operating from 2.7V to 5.5V, it's fully compatible with Arduino, PIC, AVR, ARM, and other popular MCUs.

Specifications:

• Model Type: Color Sensor Module
• Operating Voltage (V): 3 to 5
• Detection Range: 100mm
• Length (mm): 32
• Width (mm): 25
• Height (mm): 11

Pinout:

Header one on the left side of the board:

• S0: Output frequency scaling selection input (along with S1)
• S1: Output frequency scaling selection input (along with S0)
• OE: Output Enable – if held low, the output of the module is turned on
• GND: Ground – connect to 0V

Header two on the right side of the board:

• S3: Photodiode type (along with S2)
• S2: Photodiode type (along with S3)
• OUT: Output – A square wave appears here showing the intensity of the detected colour
• VCC: Power – connect to 2.7V-5.5V

The Photodiode type pins allow you to pick which color light you are currently detecting:

S2           S3           Photodiode type
Low      Low           Only red light
Low      High          Only blue light
High     Low              No filter
High                         green light

By combining the reading of each of the three colors, you can identify any visible color! 

Features:

• Put the needle (2.54 mm).
• Mil-convenient for bitmap board.
• Low-profile surface mount package.
• Chip pins all has drawn for standard 100.
• Communicate directly with a microcontroller.
• Programmable color and full-scale output frequency.
• High-resolution conversion of light intensity to frequency.
