Grove – I2C Color Sensor

Description

Note: This sensor will EOL soon, please consider the new version Grove – I2C color sensor V2.

The video shows how to recognize different colors with the sensor and then to drive the lamp lighting in blue, green, yellow, orange and red accordingly.

This module is based on the color sensor TCS3414CS with digital output I2C. Based on the 8*2 array of filtered photodiodes and 16-bits analog-to-digital converters, you can gain the color chromaticity of ambient light or the color of objects. Of the 16 photodiodes, 4 have red filters, 4 have green filters, 4 have blue filters and 4 have no filter(clear). With the synchronization input pin, external pulsed light source can provides precise synchronous conversion control.
