TCS230-DB Color Sensor

Picture of product

Click here for high res picture ...


TCS3200 Color Sensor Daughterboard is a complete color detector, including a TAOS TCS3200 RGB sensor chip, white LEDs, collimator lens, and standoffs to set the optimum sensing distance. It plugs directly into the BASIC Stamp-2pe Motherboard or Propeller Backpack and will also interface to any other BASIC Stamp module or Propeller board using the optional DB-Expander SIP Converter (#28325). The TCS3200-DB can detect and measure a nearly limitless range of visible colors. Applications include test strip reading, sorting by color, ambient light sensing and calibration, and color matching, to name just a few.

The TCS3200 has an array of photodetectors, each with either a red, green, or blue filter, or 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. Read the documentation below and check out the Color Matching Demo for more detailed information.

Features:

  • TAOS TCS3200 color sensor
  • Focusable lens: providing a sharply-defined field of view
  • Two current-regulated white LEDs for illumination
  • Motherboard connector: compatible with the MoBoStamp-pe, Propeller Backpack, and future Parallax motherboards
