Hello,
I have this TCS230 color sensor example code.
It samples color every 4000ms.
I need it to sample at least 10 times faster.
I tried to change the delay(4000) lines to delay(400), but it stopped giving numbers and just output zeros.
Is the 4000ms an absolute limit of the hardware or can i accelerate the sample rate?
Here is the code:
Thanks!
#include <TimerOne.h>
#define S0 6
#define S1 5
#define S2 4
#define S3 3
#define OUT 2
int g_count = 0; // count the frequecy
int g_array[3]; // store the RGB value
int g_flag = 0; // filter of RGB queue
float g_SF[3]; // save the RGB Scale factor
// Init TSC230 and setting Frequency.
void TSC_Init()
{
pinMode(S0, OUTPUT);
pinMode(S1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(S2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(S3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(OUT, INPUT);
digitalWrite(S0, LOW); // OUTPUT FREQUENCY SCALING 2%
digitalWrite(S1, HIGH);
}
// Select the filter color
void TSC_FilterColor(int Level01, int Level02)
{
if(Level01 != 0)
Level01 = HIGH;
if(Level02 != 0)
Level02 = HIGH;
digitalWrite(S2, Level01);
digitalWrite(S3, Level02);
}
void TSC_Count()
{
g_count ++ ;
}
void TSC_Callback()
{
switch(g_flag)
{
case 0:
Serial.println("->WB Start");
TSC_WB(LOW, LOW); //Filter without Red
break;
case 1:
Serial.print("->Frequency R=");
Serial.println(g_count);
g_array[0] = g_count;
TSC_WB(HIGH, HIGH); //Filter without Green
break;

Serial.println(g_count);

g_flag ++;
