2. Soldering the headers Before using your click board, make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. 1 Color click 2 3 4. Essential features Color click with its TCS3471 IC is a color light sensor that detects light intensity under a variety of lightning conditions. The TCS3471 contains 4x4 photodiode array, integrating amplifiers, ADCs, accumulators, clocks, buffers, comparators and state machine. RGB LED is provided to help you Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure illuminate the objects if no other light source the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are is available. This board is ideal for RGB LED Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the backlight control, industrial process control, appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. medical diagnostic and many more. 1. Introduction Color click is an accessory board in 3. Plugging the board in mikroBUS form factor. Its a compact and click easy solution for adding red, green, blue Once you have soldered the headers your and clear light sensing to your design. It board is ready to be placed into the desired BOARD features TCS3471 color RGB light-to-digital mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the cut in www.mikroe.com converter, three NPN resistor-equipped the lower-right part of the board with the transistors as well as RGB LED. Color click markings on the silkscreen communicates with the target board at the mikroBUS socket.
