Achieve accurate ambient light detection and analysis using the TCS3530
Color 18 Click is a compact add-on board designed for precise ambient light detection and flicker monitoring. It features the TCS3530 true color ambient light sensor from ams OSRAM, offering advanced capabilities for light measurement and analysis.
KEY FEATURES:
- Click Snap: Unique Click Snap feature allows for flexible mounting and easy integration into development boards
- True color sensing: Accurately measures red, green, and blue light components for color analysis
- Flicker detection: Identifies light flicker up to 7kHz, crucial for applications like camera operation
- High-sensitivity: Detects a wide range of light intensities, from low-light to bright conditions
- I2C Communication: Enables seamless communication with the host microcontroller
APPLICATIONS:
- Automatically adjusts camera settings for optimal color reproduction in various lighting conditions (auto white balance)
- Determine the type of light source (incandescent, fluorescent, LED) for adaptive lighting control
- Optimize display brightness and color based on ambient light conditions for HMI
- Measure light levels for environmental applications like agriculture, horticulture, or weather stations

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™
Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click boards to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click boards to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click boards nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.
ABOUT MIKROE
MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more than million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1600+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
