Arduino Chameleon Using TCS3200

About The Project

In this project I will guide you on how to make your own Arduino Chameleon using TCS3200 and Arduino Uno. For more info and Arduino and Raspberry Pi related projects go to my website: https://www.neuralnetworks26.com/

You can also visit our official neural networks page at: https://www.facebook.com/Neural.Networks26/\

Parts Needed

• TCS3200 x 1

• Arduino Uno x 1

• RGB LED x 1

• Breadboard x 1

• A lot of jumper wires

Softwares Needed

• Arduino IDE

Steps to be Followed

• Please refer to the following images for all the wire connections.

• Now just upload the following code onto your Arduino and it's done.
