Help with LEDs...

Thu Dec 24, 2015 5:16 pm

Hi,

I'm just starting with the Raspiberry, leds, sensors, etc... and I need some help with the leds on the attached image.

I don't know much more about these leds, I think they are RGB leds.

So, how do I know where to connect the PINs? It has 8 PINs (S0, S1, OE, GNC, S3, S3, OUT, VCC).

If they are RGS leds, how do I control their colors? (using python?)

Thanks!

I think that's a TCS3200 colour sensor. All the LEDs are white and are used to irradiate an object. The chip in the centre of the module has some segments sensitive to red, green, and blue. The module returns the RGB components of the irradiated object in a PWM format.

See viewtopic.php?p=783796#p783796 for fuller details and some precautions.

Thank you!! :D

You r right it's a color detector not a RGB Led.
