I'm getting RGB values above 255 and I'm not sure how to interpret these values. Is there something wrong in my code?
#include <Wire.h>
#include "Adafruit_TCS34725.h"
/* Example code for the Adafruit TCS34725 breakout library */
/* Connect SCL to analog 5
Connect SDA to analog 4
Connect VDD to 3.3V DC
Connect GROUND to common ground */
/* Initialise with default values (int time = 2.4ms, gain = 1x) */
// Adafruit_TCS34725 tcs = Adafruit_TCS34725();
/* Initialise with specific int time and gain values */
Adafruit_TCS34725 tcs = Adafruit_TCS34725(TCS34725_INTEGRATIONTIME_614MS, TCS34725_GAIN_1X);
void setup(void) {
Serial.begin(9600);
if (tcs.begin()) {
Serial.println("Found sensor");
} else {
Serial.println("No TCS34725 found ... check your connections");
while (1);
}
// Now we're ready to get readings!
}
void loop(void) {
uint16_t r, g, b, c, colorTemp, lux;
tcs.getRawData(&r, &g, &b, &c);
colorTemp = tcs.calculateColorTemperature(r, g, b);
lux = tcs.calculateLux(r, g, b);
Serial.print("Color Temp: "); Serial.print(colorTemp, DEC); Serial.print(" K - ");
Serial.print("Lux: "); Serial.print(lux, DEC); Serial.print(" - ");
Serial.print("R: "); Serial.print(r, DEC); Serial.print(" ");
Serial.print("G: "); Serial.print(g, DEC); Serial.print(" ");
Serial.print("B: "); Serial.print(b, DEC); Serial.print(" ");
Serial.print("C: "); Serial.print(c, DEC); Serial.print(" ");
Serial.println(" ");
}
Example output: 12:24:42.459 -> Color Temp: 8643 K - Lux: 795 - R: 961 G: 1240 B: 1161 C: 2866
How do i fix this? Thanks in advance!
