Hi,

Can I know whether this item can put in the Boe-Bot itself. Is there any more components to put inside.

Yours Sincerely,
James

    If you want the TCS3200-DB to face forward, the DB-Expander is all you need. With the color module plugged into it, it can simply be plugged into the solderless breadboard on the BOE. For other orientations, you will need to add the DB-Extension Cable and maybe some standoffs and/or brackets for mounting the color module.

    Hi,

    I still very confuse with the color sensor, as my boe bot unable to fit in. If i use Daughterboard Extension Cable I don't know where to plug into Boe Bot.
    Need guidance please.

    Yours Sincerely
    James

    That's what the DB-Expander is for. It converts the daughterboard connector or cable connector to a single row of pins that can plug into the solderless breadboard.
