TCS3200 changes the output with adding a term

Hello guys!

I'm very new to Arduino, so the following question might be very easy to answer, but I really have no idea why this happens.

I have as Color sensor the TCS3200 aand the board is a MEGA2560.

First of all, this was my code. The RGB-values were about 20,20,15, when I run this.

#include <Servo.h>
#include <MD_TCS230.h>
#include <FreqCount.h>
Servo servo1;
Servo servo2;
const int s0=8;
const int s1=9;
const int s2=12;
const int s3=11;
const int out=10;
int frequency = 0;
int R = 0;
int G = 0;
int B = 0;

void setup(){

  • pinMode(5, OUTPUT);*

  • servo1.attach(5);*

  • pinMode (13,OUTPUT);*

  • servo2.attach(13);*

  • pinMode(s0,OUTPUT);*

  • pinMode(s1,OUTPUT);*

  • pinMode(s2,OUTPUT);*

  • pinMode(s3,OUTPUT);*

  • pinMode(out,INPUT);*

  • digitalWrite(s0,HIGH);*

  • digitalWrite(s1,HIGH);*

  • Serial.begin(9600);*
    }
    void loop() {
    digitalWrite(s2,LOW);
    digitalWrite(s3,LOW);
    frequency = pulseIn(out,LOW);
    R = frequency;
    Serial.print("r=");
    Serial.print(R);
    Serial.print(", ");
    digitalWrite(s2,HIGH);
    digitalWrite(s3,HIGH);
    frequency = pulseIn(out,LOW);
    G = frequency;
    Serial.print("g=");
    Serial.print(G);
    Serial.print(", ");
    digitalWrite(s2,LOW);
    digitalWrite(s3,HIGH);
    frequency = pulseIn(out,LOW);
    B = frequency;
    Serial.print("b=");
    Serial.print(B);
    Serial.print(", ");
    Serial.print('\n');
    }

But then I added this term at the end and nearly all the values got the doubled height. I don't really understand why this happens and I hope you understand my question

delay(1000);

  • if (R < 30){*

  • servo1.write(60);*

  • }*

  • else if (R > 30){*

  • servo1.write(150);*

  • }*
    delay(2000);
    servo1.write(0);
    delay(500);
    }

Thanks for your reply!

The servo library is probably using the same hardware timer as Freqcount There is an alternative library for servo that uses a different - search using google
