i want to use this to create a green light alarms sensor so that I can take short naps at red lights.

[CristianoLini]

hi Dejan I have question for you. If I want to detect white color, wath frequency I have to consider ? Thanks in advances Cristiano

[GeeksThroughoutTime]

Very interesting. It seems like you could use this with an RGB LED to mirror the colors that the sensor sees, which would allow something like corner sensors on a TV to create a backlight that mirrored the colours on the TV screen. How many of these sensors could and Arduino handle at the same time?

nice Video But i would like to know if i can use this for rotor blade position ie 3 Blades with 3 handwritten color to be recognize
thanks in advance for your response

Great video, but what happens if you want to detect a a different colour apart from red, green or blue such as yellow? I'm using the XC3708 sensor and it says that it can be set to read, red, green blue or greyscale.
Would you have to test the colour first then use the map function to define the frequency based on the readings that you get?

Hi Dejan, does wirk this sensor on monitor display?

[vidhaniprakash]

Please tell me how to program color sensor with DC motor and servo motor

[nomercy]

sir I have a question? can i use this sesnsor in different liquid which have different colour for deduction

[hndrzp]

Which is the best between Tcs3200 vs Tcs34725? Any recommendation plz

[shifty]

great new video as always, very easy to understand and learn. keep up the great work

[pravinsavaridassm]

Is that Tcs 230 and Tcs 3200 sensors are same are they different
If yes what is the difference.
Suggest any colour sensor to sense different shades of same colour

[rolandosalgado]

Very good explanation to understand the sensor and build many projects !!!, thks

[johnflores]

is it possible to connect multiple color sensor in just one arduino board ?
i hope you reply

[aure.vds.]

Good video but when I start the program, the Leds doesn’t turn on. What is the problem please ?

[raghavgupta]

which is better in terms of accuracy- tcs230 or tcs3200????/ please sir

[MarcialWills]

can this sensor work to detect change of color on a small section of a computer monitor?
I want to build an alarm that will let me know when a window in my computer's monitor becomes red or yellow... but I am not sure what sensor to use

[shafiqalom]

Sir, as for remain difference of price between TCS3200 & TCS230, which one is best?/Why?

[soldierlt]

Very nice tutorials. I have an idea for a new project, try to make a metal detector. :)

[rayyanburney]

hey dejan!
keep up the great work buddy!

[k.sanjai...]

My doubt is, can we differentiate between same colour, like red, dark red, pale red.
