Color Sensor TCS3200

Hello from Costa Rica, Central america. I want to learn about how to make the flowchart for a sensor color TCS3200 with a pic 16F88 and 4Mhz crystal, is possible this??

Hello from the UK

I beleive a component already exists. Please see the link below for the wiki page on the component and an example.

Hi, can I replace the EBM018 for TC3200? And I want to use the PIC 16F88 or 877A.

Hello,

The EBM018 is basically just the TCS3200 on a PCB with an LED, much like the boartd you showed in your picture.

The 88 or 877A should be fine.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi,
The EBM018 component won't work directly with the TCS3200,
as our EBM018 also has a serial controlling interface device that is used to set the S0 to S3 configuration inputs.
So you will need to make your own port pin connections to S0 to S3 to set the colour filter and frequency range of the TCS3200.
Once you have done that, you can then probably use the GetFrequency macro of the EBM018 component to read the relative light intensity.
Note that all the other macros of the EBM018 component will not do anything, as they expect the EBM018 interface.
The following example page should help you...

Hope that helps,

Thanks for your tips. I will try to review your information because I am interested in learning to use the device with flowcode.

Hi everyone,

First of all I'm sorry to post my question here, I don't find where I can create a new Topic...
This is almost the same theme, I'm using the color-sensor EMB018 in Flowcode 6.
I created almost the same programm as the example in the help page : http://www.matrixtsl.com/wiki/index.php ... :_Sensors)
But I have a problem ; I have an issue of rusults at the step of "GetFrequency". If you watch the example programm, the RGB values are collected and disp on the LCD, but in mine the sensor isn't able to get the frequency of the red, blue and green after put the filter of each color.
I don't know if my issue is because of my connecting on the pins, or if the color objet has to be link with the sensor.
I join my programm if someone would kindly help me...

//First in the programm the switch in front of the purple led has to be activate. Then the issue is in the macro "TestViolet".

Again I'm sorry if it's not the right place, I will repost it in an other place if I have to. I'm sorry for my english
Thanks a lot.
