    The sensor has four different types of filter covered diodes. In the 8 x 8 array of photodiodes, 16
    photodiodes have Red filters, 16 have Blue filters, 16 have Green filters and the rest 16
    photodiodes are clear with no filters. Each type can be activated using the S2, S3 selection
    inputs. Since each photodiodes are coated with different filters each of them can detect the
    corresponding colours. For example, when choosing the red filter, only red incident light can get
    through, blue and green will be prevented. By measuring the frequency, we get the red light
    intensity. Similarly, when choose other filters we can get blue or green light.

    We can also set the frequency scaling option by using the S0, S1 select lines. Normally, in
    Arduino 20% frequency scaling is used.

    Brief Description

    This Arduino compatible TCS3200 color sensor module consist of a TAOS TCS3200 RGB
    sensor chip and 4 white LEDs. The main part of the module is the TCS3200 chip which is a
    Color Light-to-Frequency Converter. The white LEDs are used for providing proper lighting for
    the sensor to detect the object colour correctly. This chip can sense a wide variety of colours and
    it gives the output in the form of corresponding frequency. This module can be used for making
    colour sorting robots, test strip reading, colour matching tests etc.

    The TCS3200 chip consist of an 8 x 8 array of photodiodes. Each photodiode have either a red,
    green, or blue filter, or no filter. The filters of each color are distributed evenly throughout the
    array to eliminate location bias among the colors. Internal circuits includes an oscillator which
    produces a square-wave output whose frequency is proportional to the intensity of the chosen
    color.

     Size: 28.4x28.4mm(1.12x1.12")

    How to use the module Pin Configuration

    TCS3200 color sensor module can be used to detect the colous with the help of a
    microcontroller. Actually, the microcontroller is measuring the output frequency from the 6th
    pin.

    To determine the color of an object, we’ve to measure the frequency from 6th pin when each
    filter is activated.

    Set both S2 and S3 to LOW, measure the frequency. Now we get the intensity of RED
    component in the object.

    Set S2 to LOW and S3 to HIGH in order to get the intensity of BLUE component in the object.

    Set both S2 and S3 to HIGH and get the intensity of GREEN component in the object.

    Compare the frequencies of the three components to get the actual colour of the object.

    TIP: In Arduino, we can use the ‘pulseIn’ command to get the frequency variations.

    e.g.:
    digitalWrite(S2, LOW);
    digitalWrite(S3, LOW); //Activating photodiode with red filter
    red = pulseIn(outpin, LOW);

    Here we get the value corresponding to the red color component of the object color.
    Similarly, we’ve to activate each photodiodes by changing the S2 and S3 states and read the
    corresponding values of green and blue colour components of the object colour.

    For a Red object we get an approximate value of red=16, green=53 and blue=45. This may vary
    from ambient light and experiment setup. For good results, it’s better to cover the object and
    sensor from ambient light.

    Programming Logic

     First set the input pins as input and output pins as output. No need to use analog pins.
     Set S0 and S1 to high or low to set desired frequency scaling.
     In loop, activate each filters by setting S2 and S3 to HIGH or LOW and measure
    frequency ‘fo’ from 6th pin to get corresponding colour intensity. Compare frequencies
    of each colour to determine the colour of the object.
