The amount of light reflected from the sample under illumination from each red, green, and blue LED can be used to determine the sample’s color. The ColorPAL works with non-fluorescent reflective surfaces, preferably those in contact with its light shroud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan class=\"forte\"\u003eColorPAL Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetects a full range of colors, and outputs data as RGB (Red\/Green\/Blue) components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupported by BlocklyProp blocks and Propeller C libraries, as well as BASIC Stamp and Arduino code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetects broad-spectrum ambient light with sensitivity down to 44µW\/cm2 per lsb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenerates 24-bit color using the onboard RGB LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlugs into 3-pin headers (with optional cable) or wireless breadboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-pin interface uses a simple serial protocol to define and initiate color detection and generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003eColorPAL Rev B Key Specifications:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"details\" class=\"tabbed details ui-accordion-content ui-helper-reset ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom ui-accordion-content-active\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-tech\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor sensor IC: Rohm BH1680FVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard microcontroller: ATTiny13A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal RGB response time: 62 ms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard EEPROM for saving custom color detection and generation programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutorun feature permits running a pre-designated EEPROM program with only a power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenerates 24-bit color using onboard RGB LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower requirements: 5.0 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunication: Asynchronous serial, open drain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 1.72 x 0.90 x 0.65 in (44 x 23 x 17 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"rotforte\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e ColorPAL Rev B began shipping in December 2021.
