Color 9 Click is a very accurate color sensing Click board� which features the APDS-9250, IR and ambient light sensor, from Broadcom. It contains a specially designed matrix of photosensitive elements, which can sense red, green, blue and IR component.
We provide a library for the Color9 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.
This library contains API for Color9 Click driver.
void color9_cfg_setup ( color9_cfg_t *cfg );
COLOR9_RETVAL color9_init ( color9_t *ctx, color9_cfg_t *cfg );
uint32_t color9_get_green ( color9_t* ctx );
uint32_t color9_get_blue ( color9_t* ctx );
uint32_t color9_get_red ( color9_t* ctx );
This example reads data from the sensor, and then logs IR, green, blue and red measurements.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initialize the driver and test if the sensor is present. If the ID read from the sensor is correct execute the initialization procedure.
Wait for the color data to be available then read the data and send it to the serial port.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all Mikroelektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
