Arduino COLOR Sensor / Color Recognition Sensor TCS230

Hello world! Today i made a color Recognizer with arduino and the TCS2300 /TCS230 color sensor. It simply reads the values of the Sensor and prints it to the serial monitor, this sensor can be used for a Color sorting machine for example. The code is very small. We are using a library which makes the values pretty accurate. Follow the next link for the Schematic code and parts list.

NOTE: It also detects other colors then RGB. Only i seen yellow is not very accurate.

Step 1: Schematic, Code & Parts List.

Just wire it up like the schematic, See below how to wire it up if you cannot read the schematic.

The text on the schematic is a bit unreadable for some i can imagine.

• vcc > 5v
• GND > GND
• SO > D3
• S1 > D4
• S2 > D5
• S3 > D6
• OUT > D2

Parts list.

• Arduino uno.
• Color sensor TCS2300 / TCS230 (soon for sale on my site)
• Jumper wire set.

Good luck! The zip fileTCS3200.zip contains the Library and example codes.
