![]() The map function is commonly used as a built-in Arduino C function and it’s very handy in a wide range of applications. Let’s start with the map function which we quite often use in different embedded systems applications. So I’ve decided to briefly mention each of them at least the ones we’ll be using in the near future. We’ll be using these functions in the upcoming tutorials and you’ll find them in the math directory in the STM32 course repo. In this article, we’ll discuss some math functions like map function, constrain, digital filtering, and how to implement them in Embedded-C. If you have any doubts, please ask in comments.Previous Tutorial Tutorial 33 Next Tutorial Map Function, Constrain, FIR Filters, And Other Math Functions STM32 Course Home Page □ So that’s it! We have finished our tutorial on Interfacing Arduino and Color Sensor. In the end, we print the values for the red, green and blue color on the serial monitor. Similarly, by doing the s2 pin low and s3 pin high, we will get the blue color value. The output for s2, s3 pin high will be from 30 to 90 and we will map these values from 0 to 255 to get the green color value. Then we set the s2, s3 pins high to get the value for the green color. So, we will map these to 255-0 to get the red color value. The output of the sensor for s2 and s3 pin low will be from 25 to 72. digitalWrite(s0_pin,HIGH) įirst of all in the loop function, we set the s2 and s3 pin low to get the red color values. If you set the frequency to 2% or 100%, then the output values will be changed according to that and you have to map these values accordingly to get the RGB values. You can also set the frequency to 2% or 100%. ![]() The following commands will set the frequency to 20%. The out_pin is declared as input because the Arduino reads the output from the color sensor through this pin. In the setup function, we have declared s0, s1, s2 and s3 pins as output pins because Arduino writes commands to the color sensor through these pins. The out_pin will give us the output values of the color sensor. The s0, s1 pins are to set the frequency to 2%, 20% or 100% and the s2, s3 pins are to get the values for the red, green and blue color. Green_color = map(green_color, 30,90,255,0) īlue_color = map(blue_color, 25,70,255,0) įirst of all, we have to initialize the pins of the color sensor that we are going to use in the project. The connections of Arduino with the color sensor TCS230 is as given below: TCS230Ĭode/Program – Arduino Color Sensor Interfacing int s0_pin =8 You can set the frequency to any other value (you desire), but the output values will change according to the set frequency and you will have to map the color values relative to the set frequency. In our code, the frequency is set at 20%. The pin combination for setting the frequency using these pins is as follows S0 These pins are used to set the frequency to 0%, 2%, 20% or 100%. The sensor also has two more pins which are S0 and S1. After that, we will map these values to 0-255 and show the color values on the serial monitor. Then, we read the Green color by making both the pins high and finally, we read the Blue color by making the S2 pin low and S3 pin high. First of all, we have to read the Redcolor by making both the S2 and S3 pin low. So with the help of pin combinations provided in the above table, we can read values of each color. The pin combination for reading the RGB colors is as follows S2 So, if we want to read colors, then we can read them by using the S2 and S3 pins. Every 16 photodiodes are connected in parallel. 16 of them are red, 16 of them are green, 16 of them are blue and 16 of them are clear (No color). These photodiodes consist of three different color filters. TCS230 color sensor consists of an 8X8 array of photodiodes. The other pins are for powering the sensor. The out pin is supposed to give the output to Arduino in the form of a square wave. The sensor has 10 pins S0, S1 are for setting the frequency and S2, S3 are for reading the color values. The sensor also consists of four LED lights. If you take a closer look at the sensor, you will see that it contains an array of photodiodes which are used to sense the color light.
