Hello I'm am new to this forum/arduino and I have a question regarding the TCS 3200 color sensor that I am testing. The sensor works fine with the example code I used to read the color but it reads it at a very fast rate. I have been trying to slow it down with putting delays at certain parts of the code but it does not help. I was hoping that someone that is more experienced can help me with this issue? Code pasted below.
int s0=3,s1=4,s2=5,s3=6;
int out=2;
int flag=0;
byte counter=0;
byte countR=0,countG=0,countB=0;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(s0,OUTPUT);
pinMode(s1,OUTPUT);
pinMode(s2,OUTPUT);
pinMode(s3,OUTPUT);
}
void TCS()
{
flag=0;
digitalWrite(s1,HIGH);
digitalWrite(s0,HIGH);
digitalWrite(s2,LOW);
digitalWrite(s3,LOW);
attachInterrupt(0, ISR_INTO, LOW);
timer0_init();
}
void ISR_INTO()
{
counter++;
}
void timer0_init(void)
{
TCCR2A=0x00;
TCCR2B=0x07; //the clock frequency source 1024 points
TCNT2= 100; //10 ms overflow again
TIMSK2 = 0x01; //allow interrupt
}
int i=0;
ISR(TIMER2_OVF_vect)//the timer 2, 10ms interrupt overflow again. Internal overflow interrupt executive function
{
TCNT2=100;
flag++;
if(flag==1)
{
countR=counter;
Serial.print("red=");
Serial.println(countR,DEC);
digitalWrite(s2,HIGH);
digitalWrite(s3,HIGH);
}
else if(flag==2)
{
countG=counter;
Serial.print("green=");
Serial.println(countG,DEC);
digitalWrite(s2,LOW);
digitalWrite(s3,HIGH);
}
else if(flag==3)
{
countB=counter;
Serial.print("blue=");
Serial.println(countB,DEC);
Serial.println("\n");
digitalWrite(s2,LOW);
digitalWrite(s3,LOW);
}
else if(flag==4)
{
flag=0;
}
counter=0;
}
void loop()
{
TCS();
while(1);
}
