Description of TCS3200 Color Recognition Sensor Module
Quick Overview
The TCS3200 Color Recognition Sensor Module is engineered to identify and measure the color of an object with high precision. Employing an array of photodiodes with different color filters, the sensor is adept at quantifying the color components (Red, Green, Blue) of the light it senses.
How It Works
The sensor contains a grid of photodiodes, each covered by a colored filter (Red, Green, Blue, or Clear). Light reflecting off an object strikes these photodiodes. The sensor then measures the intensity of each color component and outputs a square wave whose frequency is proportional to the detected color intensity. This frequency can be measured by a microcontroller to determine the color composition of the object.
Technical Specification
- Operating Voltage: 3-5V
- Output: Square wave frequency
- Sensing Range: Typically up to 15mm from the object
- Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
Key Features
- High Resolution: Capable of distinguishing between a broad range of colors with high accuracy.
- Adaptable Sensing: Comes with four white LEDs for better color detection in varying light conditions.
- Versatile: Suitable for both reflective and transmissive color sensing.
- Simple to Interface: Easy to connect with a variety of microcontrollers.
Application
- Color-based sorting machines for manufacturing and quality control.
- Interactive educational kits that teach color theory and recognition.
- Art installations that respond to color stimuli.
- Robotics applications for object identification or tracking.
- Health monitoring systems for analyzing biological samples.
Summary
The TCS3200 Color Recognition Sensor Module is a versatile device for accurately detecting colors. It uses photodiodes and LEDs to capture and process reflected light, providing RGB color values. This sensor finds applications in robotics and industrial automation for precise color detection.
