GY-33 Color Recognition Sensor Module
Contents
Introduction
GY-33 color recognition sensor module has these advantages: low cost, small volume, easy to mount, low-power consumption and its working voltage is 3~5V.
TCS347525
The TCS3472 device provides a digital return of red, green, blue (RGB), and clear light sensing values. An IR blocking filter, integrated on-chip and localized to the color sensing photodiodes, minimizes the IR spectral component of the incoming light and allows color measurements to be made accurately. The high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and IR blocking filter make the TCS3472 an ideal color sensor solution for use under varying lighting conditions and through attenuating materials.

Principle
LED lights up and illuminates the detected objects. The reflected lights detect the ratio of RGB via the filter and recognize the colors according to the RGB ratio.
TCS347525
The TcS34725 light-to-digital converter contains a 3 X 4 photodiode array, four analog-to-digital converters (ADC) that integrate the photodiode current, data registers, a state machine, and an I2C interface. THE 3 X 4photodiode array is composed of red-filtered, green-filtered, blue-filtered, and clear (unfiltered) photodiodes. In addition, the photodiodes currents use a 16-bit digital value. Upon completion of a conversion cycle, the results are transferred to the data registers, which are double-buffered to ensure the integrity of the data. All of the internal timing, as well as the low-power wait state, is controlled by the state machine.
