Color Sensor RGB TCS3472 - Unit expansion module for development modules M5Stack

Unit-extension forM5Stackbase modules. IntegratedRGB colour sensorequipped withTCS3472. It detects the color of the element and sends it to the main host in the form of processed figures. Modulecommunicates with the developer module via anI2Cinterface.Grovecables are used to connect the extension to the main modules. A dedicated connection cable is included.

The sensor uses diodes and analogue-to-digital converter.

RGB color sensor from M5Stack.

TheTCS3472Control Module has a built-in 16-bitanalog-to-digital converterand 12 filtered photodiodes of specification: 3LEDswithredfilter, 3 LEDs withgreenfilter, 3 LEDs withbluefilter and 3transparentLEDs. When detecting the colour of element, module returns data from four channels: red (R), green (G), blue (B) and unfiltered transparent (C). Results from individual RGB channels are used to determine chromatic coordinates(x,y) of the colour source. For details on colour processing, see the manufacturer'suser guide.
