Keyestudio Color Sensor

Keyestudio Color Sensor programmable color light-to-frequency converter applies to colorimeter measurement applications such as color printing, medical diagnosis, calibration of PC color monitor as well as process control and color coordination in oil paint, textile, cosmetics and printing material industries. It can be used with Arduino .

• Chip: TCS230
• Input voltage: DC 3 ~ 5V
• Output frequency voltage: 0 ~ 5V
• Use high brightness white LEDs
• Can be connected directly to Microcontroller
• Static detection of the measured object color
• Best detection distance: 10mm

Keyestudio Color Sensor is built on the principle of three primary colors (RGB). Concretely speaking, The sensor allows only one specific primary color to go through and blocks other primary colors if a specific color filter was chosen.
For example, when red filter was chosen, only red light can pass through while blue and green lights will be blocked out, so that we can get the intensity of red light. The strength of blue and green lights can be got in the same way. Finally, By analyzing the light strength of these three color, we can recognize the color reflected onto the Keyestudio Color Sensor.
