Arduino-Controlled TCS3200 Color Sensor with PCA9685 Servo Driver Interface
View and Edit Project In Cirkit Designer
Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit integrates a color sensor (TCS3200), a PWM servo controller (Adafruit PCA9685), an Arduino UNO microcontroller, and multiple servo motors. The Arduino UNO is used as the central processing unit, interfacing with the TCS3200 color sensor to read color data and controlling the servos through the PCA9685 servo driver. The PCA9685 allows for multiple servos to be controlled with precision using the I2C interface. The servos are actuated based on the program logic defined in the Arduino UNO.
