Researchers from the University of Johannesburg in South Africa have developed a cleaning system for solar modules based on the TCS3200 color sensor and the Arduino Uno open-source microcontroller.

This minimalist beauty uses an Arduino Nano and RGB sensor to assess the color. At the top, a small servo rotates an arm inside the hopper that both shakes the Skittles and sets them up single ...

If you’d like to get more specific, Michael Klements’ Arduino-based scanner lets you quantify colors in numerical RGB values via a TCS34725 sensor.

You can actually build your own color-sensing lamp with this $8 Adafruit RGB color sensor, and follow along with plenty of Arduino tutorials online. But look how cool and sleek its product video is!

So Charmed Labs and Carnegie Mellon University teamed up to create a cheap and efficient vision sensor, and Pixy was born.
