Color 19 Click
Overview
The MIKROE-6415 Color 19 Click is a compact add-on board designed for high-precision color and ambient light sensing. It features the Texas Instruments OPT4060, a high-resolution 20-bit color sensor that provides accurate measurements of red, green, blue, and clear light intensities. The board operates at 3.3V and utilizes an I2C interface for seamless integration into the MikroBUS ecosystem.
Why Choose This Part
This module offers exceptional 20-bit resolution and a wide measurement range down to 2.15 millilux, making it suitable for extremely low-light environments. It features robust infrared rejection to ensure that non-visible light does not interfere with color accuracy, while configurable light conversion times allow engineers to balance speed and sensitivity.
Applications
Getting Started
To use this board, plug it into any MikroBUS socket on a development system like the MIKROE-2100 Flip & Click or an EasyPIC board. Users can leverage the MikroSDK libraries provided by Mikroe to quickly initialize the I2C interface and read RGB values using the pre-configured C functions. The Click Snap feature allows for easy physical integration or separation from the main PCB.
