The Flotilla Colour module is a great tool that can detect RGB colour and ambient light level. It comes with two bright white LEDs to light up the objects whose colour you want to detect. Using the TCS3472 colour sensor, it's perfect for line - following robots, fruit detection, or sorting M&M's. Features include a TCS3472 RGB colour sensor, ambient light level detection, two bright white LEDs, and a Micro USB connector. You can find Flotilla Cookbook recipes at http://learn.flotil.la/cookbook/ or use it with Rockpool at http://flotil.la/rockpool/. Also, you can control it with our Python Flotilla API. Note that Flotilla modules need a Dock and Flotilla ropes (USB micro B to micro B cables).
Using the Flotilla Colour module is easy. First, make sure you have a Dock and Flotilla ropes (USB micro B to micro B cables) as the module requires them. Connect the module to the Dock using the ropes. Once connected, you can start detecting colours. The two bright white LEDs will help illuminate the object for better colour detection. You can use it in various projects like making line - following robots or sorting candies. To find recipes for using this module, visit http://learn.flotil.la/cookbook/. If you're into coding, use the Python Flotilla API to control it. For maintenance, keep it away from moisture and physical damage. Also, make sure the Micro USB connector is clean and in good condition.
