Color Camera in BS2

tmd13

I bought the TCS230-DB Color Sensor and for me to be able to plug this camera in Basic Stamp I had to buy this components :

BASIC Stamp DB-Expander Daughterboard-to-SIP and Daughterboard Extension Cable.

The problem is that I cant find any document in parallax web site that explain how to plug this into the parallax board, how to used those extra components and not even a sample code about this camera, so its been really hard for me to understand this.

I have to mention that i did found a pdf file but that only only shows me how to conect the voltage and the ground, nothing related with the pins and programming or samples codes.

I hope you can help me with this issue. I will appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Please check this link. There are code examples on there too.

There's plenty of documentation and examples for the color sensor on Parallax's TCS230-DB product page. The DB-Exapnader is also documented on its product page. What, in particular, do you feel you are missing?

Well, I need to know how to connect the camera in the bs2 with the extra components, how exactly to connect it.

And some samples codes for the color detection.

On the TCS230-DB product page that I cited above, there's a demo program for color detection designed especially for the DB-Expander that you can download. In the program listing, it shows exactly which pins of the DB-Expander correspond to signals on the TCS230-DB and which BS2 pins to connect them to.
