interfacing TCS230 Color Sensor Evaluation Kit with a SX48

subzero15

Does anyone have any idea how I would interface the Taos TCS230 (this) with a sx48 proto-board? I am completely clueless.

I would use a basic stamp, but it doesn't have enough i/o's. I would use the 40 pin stamp but the sx48 is much cheaper, considering i already have an sx-key.

I figure as far as programing it I could just program it in basic.

If anyone has any ideas let me know. Perhaps a different microprocessor would be better.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Nick

Nick,
It looks like it outputs a frequency for each color. The PBASIC code uses the COUNT command, you could do the same with SX/B.

i was looking for an answer about wiring it up rather than about programming it... but thanks.

any help?

Take a look at Jon Williams' Nuts'n'Volts column here. He shows how to hook up the color module without using the AppMod adapter. The column is Stamp-centric, but you'll get the idea. (BTW, the wiring diagram has a typo and shows two "Vdd" terminals. The one with the ground and /OE connection should be labeled "Vss" or "Gnd".)
