Servomotor:: .Sensor Tcs3200
A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear
position, velocity and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback.
It also requires a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module designed specifically for use
with servomotors.
Servomotors are not a specific class of motor although the term servomotor is often used to refer to
a motor suitable for use in a closed-loop control system.
.Sensor Tcs3200
The TCS3200 programmable color light-to-frequency converters that combine configurable silicon
photodiodes and a current-to-frequency converter on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. .The
output is a square wave (50% duty cycle) with frequency directly proportional to light intensity (irradiance).
The full-scale output frequency can be scaled by one of three preset values via two control input pins.
Digital inputs and digital output allow direct interface to a microcontroller or other logic circuitry. Output
enable (OE) places the output in the high-impedance state for multiple-unit sharing of a microcontroller
input line. In the TCS3200, the light-to-frequency converter reads an 8 x 8 array of photodiodes. Sixteen
photodiodes have blue filters, 16 photodiodes have green filters, 16 photodiodes have red filters, and 16
photodiodes are clear with no filters.
In the TCS3210, the light-to-frequency converter reads a 4 x 6 array of photodiodes. Six photodiodes have
blue filters, 6 photodiodes have green filters, 6 photodiodes have red filters, and 6 photodiodes are clear
with no filters. The four types (colors) of photodiodes are interdigitated to minimize the effect of non-
uniformity of incident irradiance. All photodiodes of the same color are connected in parallel. Pins S2 and
S3 are used to select which group of photodiodes (red, green, blue, clear) are active. Photodiodes are 110
μm x 110 μm in size and are on 134-μm center
