Upload the ArduinoISP sketch from File->Examples -> ArduinoISP in the Arduino IDE.Step 2: Program the ATMega32 with the color sensor sketch You should now see the ATMega32 boards under the Copy the text from the boards.txt file and past it into the boards.txt located at:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\boards.txt.Copy the arduino_pins.h file to the folder you created:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\variants\mega32.Create a folder named mega32 in the directory:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\variants.Download the ATMega32 board and pin files.Install the boards and pins files for the ATMega32 to the Arduino IDE.

Download the Arduino IDE and install it (if you don't have it already).

The Adafruit breakout for the sensor also includes a white led to illuminate objects so you can use the sensor for reflected light from colored objects when the light is on, or turn the light off and use the sensor to detect the color of light emitted from an external source (such as an RGB led). The Adafruit library takes care of communications with the sensor, and converts the color temperatures to familiar RGB values. The sensor itself uses a photo-diode array with red, green and blue filters to measure color temperatures in Kelvin. The TCS34725 RGB color sensor is a neat little sensor. This project uses the Adafruit TCS34725 RGB Color Sensor and an ATMega32A microprocessor to collect and display color data in a WPF application.
