GY-33 Color Recognition Sensor Module

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.

Introduction of Pins

Pin Introduction
GND	Connected to the cathode of the power supply
DR	Serial port UART_RX/IIC_SDA
VCC	Connected to the anode of the power supply(3v-5v)
NC	Remain, do not connect to anything
INT	TCS34725 color chip breaks off s1=0 (wiring up GND, run it)
SDA	TCS34725 color chip data wire s1=0(wiring up GND, run it)
SCL	TCS34725 clock line of color chip s1 = 0 (wiring up GND, run it)
S0	Serial/MCU_IIC Mode Choose
S1	Only let sensor chip choose

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.
