Description
This module is the core color sensor of the TCS34725FN color light digitizer of ams AG. The sensor provides digital output of red, green, blue (RGB) and clear light sensing values. The integrated infrared blocking filter can minimize the infrared spectral components of the incident light, and can accurately perform color measurement. It has high sensitivity, wide dynamic range and infrared blocking filter. Minimize the effects of IR and UV spectral components to produce accurate color measurements. And with ambient light intensity detection and shieldable interrupt. Communication via I2C interface.

Hardware Description
Chip
TCS34725 is used for color sensing. TCS34725 is an I2C bus-based color light-to-digital converter with an IR filter, providing a digital return of red, green, blue (RGB), and clear light sensing values. The high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and IR blocking filter make the TCS34725 an ideal color sensor solution for use under varying lighting conditions and through attenuating materials.
Communication Protocol
I2C bus has two lines, one is a data line (SDA) and another is a lock line (SDL). There are three kinds of signals when communicating, Start signal, Stop signal, and Answer signal.
- Start Signal: When SCL is High, SDA change from High to Low, it start to transmit data
- Stop Signal: When SCL is High, SDA change from Low to High, it stops transmitting.
- Answer Signal: Every time IC sends back a certain Low plus to the sender after it receives 8 bits of data.
I2C Write
When working, Raspberry Pi (hereafter named as Master) will first send a Start signal, then send a byte to TCS34725(hereafter named as Slaver), whose first 7bits are the address of Slaver and 1 bit write bit. Slave response with Answer signal every time it receives any data. Master sends command register address to Slaver, then data of command register. Stop signals are sent to slaves to stop communicating.
