Description:
This product uses imported chips TCS3200
TCS3200 Color Sensor is a complete color detectorincluding a TAOS TCS3200 RGB sensor chip and 4 white LEDs. The TCS3200 can detect and measure a nearly limitless range of visible colors. Applications include test strip readingsorting by colorambient light sensing and calibrationand color matchingto name just a few.
The TCS3200 has an array of photodetectorseach with either a redgreenor blue filteror no filter (clear). The filters of each color are distributed evenly throughout the array to eliminate location bias among the colors. Internal to the device is an oscillator which produces a square-wave output whose frequency is proportional to the intensity of the chosen color.
