Course Description

This course content is brand new (there is no guide for making a color sensor panel in the internet)
Every step of wiring, programming ( every step is explained) and designing the sensor panel, color calibrating, color detecting will be done through real time practicals !
All the theories behind color detection will be discussed deeply and results of the lab practicals done with color sensors are added for you to understand theories easily!
Course Overview:
ARDUINO BOARD AND IDE
This course includes every step which is needed for you to be confident of making a color sensor panel in your own! That's why i have included some introduction which will teach you the basics of Arduino mega board, the usage of pins and the Arduino IDE platform. You will definitely learn many parts of arduino programming through the programming practicals inside this course as well. So don't worry even if you have no experience with arduino programming!
COLOR DETECTION PROCESS
This course will give you an in-depth analysis of the TCS230 color sensor and it is 100% sure that the information of the analysis of the sensor, observations, practicals and results of the color detection process performed in the electronic lab, programming technique , color sensor panel designing you will find inside this course is not available anywhere in the internet. This will teach how the sensor is made, how the PCB is created, the working principle and the color detection process and the method of all the color sensors in general. This course will teach how the feeding of the frequency ranges of colors linked to the wavelength of colors to the sensor should be done and then the way to detect colors by comparing the frequency ranges! Most importantly you will learn how the frequency scaling is done and why!

Special: Results of lab practicals done in an electronic lab with the color sensors is included to illustrate to illustrate the effect on different parameters of the output of the color sensors!
COLOR CALIBRATION CODING (CODES PROVIDED) AND DEMONSTRATION
In this course you will learn how to perform color calibrating with the TCS color sensor and how to write the arduino program for color calibration. You will learn how to activate appropriate color filters to calibrate different colors and to find out the frequency range of each color.
COLOR DETECTION CODING (CODES PROVIDED) AND SENSOR PANEL PERFORMANCE
The final step you will go through is color detecting process. You will learn how to write a program to detect colors by feeding the frequency ranges obtained through the calibration process. Then the step by step real time practicals of different color detecting methods from the sensor panel are included !
You must go through each and every step of the lectures and i have always been straight forward and to the point so that you will not be bored! In-Depth analysis of the color sensor is very vital as you will be able to work with any color sensor if you understand the principles and methods properly. Good luck! Hope to see you again with another interesting course!
GOOD LUCK!

Everything behind color detection is explained and practically fed to the students in this course! i have never seen waveforms generated by a sensor panel like this before! It was truly worth buying this with these kind of vital information for a this much of a low price.

All the demonstrations for color detection, color calibration are done in a nice, understandable manner. Important thing is we get to learn how to calibrate any sensor and detect colors. I will surely recommend this to my colleagues! Thank you!

By Michael Scales

Vishwana is a great instructor indeed! I have been following many tutorials on color detecting and lots of color sensors for a undergraduate project of mine. But i didn't get anything other than copying and pasting a code. I never knew how the code is made. Now i have experienced super exciting stuff through this course.

This course gives you the maximum knowledge on the entire color detecting process and color sensors that you would never imagine , with a crystal clear explanation. He has included electronic lab practicals to show you how the theories are applied in real time color detecting! That was just amazing!

He goes through all the steps of coding so that we understand why and how the coding is made. Plus his short course on familiarizing the arduino environment was great for someone like me who didnt have previous experience.

Further the demonstrations on calibration and color detecting were very straightforward. Shows you how the sensor panel works, reacts to different colors. This guy is amazing! Sorry about getting late to post this review!

First of all I have never seen any source on making a color sensor panel. I wanted to add an integrated color sensor panel for my robotic applications.

Very valuable information on color detecting and color sensors.

Everything (Coding and background) was nicely explained. I learned lots of new things even though i had experience in robotic field. Highly recommend this course!

muito elementar até agora e o professor fala muito de vagar. Vamos ver como vai ser o curso daqui a diante.

I learned the most important concepts of color detection process for my OPTO-ELECTRONICS module in this semester at SHU,UK. Your course was truly a life saver! It was incredible to have the theories explained and lab practical results together so that people get the stuff right in to their brains.

What you proved from the lab results was amazing. Thanks a lot! This is absolutely a great course. Vishwana, you should start teaching engineering students!
