RGB Colour Sensor with IR filter

RGB Colour Sensor with IR filter

This little RGB colour sensor is equipped with an IR filter that offers a genuine colour reading.

• RGB and Clear light sensing elements.
• Its IR blocking filter that is integrated on-chip and localised to the colour sensing photodiodes grants more accurate measurements.
• 3,800,000:1 dynamic range with handy adjustable time and gain allows to use it even with darkened glass.
• 3.3V regulator makes it safe when powered with 3-5V DC.
• Level shifting for I2C pins so that you can use 3.3V or 5V logic.
• Neutral 4150K temperature LED with onboard MOSFET driver illuminates what you want to sense (by using any logic level output, it may be turned on or off).
• 20.44mm by 20.28mm.

Traditional Arduino library by Adafruit is here

To wire up the sensor, you have to connect VDD to 3-5VDC, Ground to common ground, SCL to I2C Clock and SDA to I2C Data on your Arduino. Restart the IDE and select the example sketch. And now you are absolutely ready to start enjoying yourself with this sensor!
