SENSORS / LIGHT/COLOR/PHOTO / ADAFRUIT AS7262 6-CHANNEL VISIBLE LIGHT / COLOR SENSOR BREAKOUT
DESCRIPTION
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also in this sensor, controlled by you and I!
Detect trees of green, and red roses too with the new Adafruit AS7262 6-Channel Visible
Light / Color Sensor Breakout. This sensor from AMS has 6 integrated visible light sensing
channels for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. These channels can be read via the I2C
bus as either raw 16-bit values or calibrated floating-point values. There is also an on-board
temperature sensor that can be used to read the temperature of the chip, and a powerful LED

DESCRIPTION
TECHNICAL DETAILS
flash to reflect light off objects for better color detection.
The 6 channels on the AS7262 are realized by silicon interference filters at 450nm, 500nm,
550nm, 570nm, 600nm, and 650nm. This breakout uses the I2C interface on the chip by
default, but a UART interface that accepts AT commands is also selectable.
We've placed the sensor on a PCB for you and included an SPI flash chip pre-programmed with
the device firmware, a 3.3V regulator, I2C level shifting, and the recommended LED flash. Both
the I2C and UART interfaces are broken out, making this breakout an excellent all-in-one
solution for all your color-sensing needs. The pinout for the UART interface is plug-and-play
compatible with the Adafruit FTDI Friend.
We've also prepared software libraries to get you up and running in Arduino or CircuitPython
with just a few lines of code!
