In this article you will find out what a colour sensor is and how to use it

DESCRIPTION
Colour sensor registers the color of the surface. The sensor receives reflected light in the visible range of colors and encodes it.
Technical description:

– Size (L*W*H): 40x24x24
– The sensor reads the color reflected from the surface, encodes it and transmits it to the controller via the I2C bus.
– Operating voltage: 3.3V
– F-Dupont 5pin connector for connecting to another device

Functionality when connected to the RED X controller:

Determining the surface colour


Colour sensor connecting scheme

Program example
*Physically, the colour sensor connected to the I2C port reads the red colour and outputs its value to the port monitor
