Description
Detect trees of green, and red roses too with the new Adafruit AS7262 6-Channel Visible Light / Color Sensor Breakout. This sensor from AMS has 6 integrated visible light sensing channels for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. These channels can be read via the I2C bus as either raw 16-bit values or calibrated floating-point values. There is also an on-board temperature sensor that can be used to read the temperature of the chip, and a powerful LED flash to reflect light off objects for better color detection.
The 6 channels on the AS7262 are realized by silicon interference filters at 450nm, 500nm, 550nm, 570nm, 600nm, and 650nm. This breakout uses the I2C interface on the chip by default, but a UART interface that accepts AT commands is also selectable.
Q: What wavelengths does the AS7262 sensor detect?
A: It detects red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet light.
Q: How does the AS7262 communicate with other devices?
A: The sensor uses I2C for communication.
Q: Does the AS7262 have any additional features?
A: Yes, it includes an onboard temperature sensor and an LED flash.
Q: What applications are suitable for the AS7262 sensor?
A: It is ideal for color sensing, spectral analysis, and ambient light detection.
Q: Is there any onboard processing in the AS7262 sensor?
A: Yes, it includes onboard processing for accurate and reliable color measurements.
