With the Color Bricklet 2.
0, bricks can measure the color, color temperature and illuminance of a light source.
With the Bricklet, the color of an object can thus be measured via its reflected light.
In order to achieve uniform lighting with a defined color temperature, the Bricklet is equipped with an API-switchable LED.
The Bricklet can be used for many applications, e.
g.
for sorting objects according to their color.
The sensor has internal color filters for measuring the colors red, green and blue (RGB).
The graphic above shows the sensitivity of the sensor for the respective color range.
In addition to the color information (RGB), the sensor outputs additional information, called "Clear" (C).
This is the sensor reading without a color filter.
R,G,B and C are 16Bit values each.
From this information, the Bricklet calculates the brightness and color temperature (also 16Bit each).
The Color Bricklet 2.
0 has a 7-pin Bricklet plug and is connected with a 7p-10p Bricklet cable with a brick.
