COLOR is color recognition unit integrated with TCS3472 chipset. As the name says, COLOR is able to detect color value and return RGB data as response.

IC | TCS3472 |
Workingtemperaturerange | -40°C~85°C |
Communication protocol | I2C:0x29 |

Identify color principle: The TCS3472 chipset integrated with 3*4 array of filtered photodiodes and a 16 bit analog-to-digital embedded converters. Out of the 12 photodiodes, 3 have red filters, 3 have green filters, 3 have blue filters and 3 have no filter (clear), which gives a total range of RGBA (RGB + Transparency)
When detecting the color of an object the TCS3472 returns data from four channels: red(R), green(G), blue(B) and clear(C)(non-filtered). The response from the red, green and blue channels (RGB) can be used to determine a particular source’s chromaticity coordinates (x, y).
Chromaticity Calculation Process Overview:
When we get coordinates (x, y), please reference the below figure so as to get the recommended color.
This Unit communicates with the M5Core via the GROVE A interface(I2C). Address is 0x29.
EasyLoader is a concise and fast program writer, which has a built-in case program related to the product. It can be burned to the main control by simple steps to perform a series of function verification.
Description:
The sensor collects the current CRGB value and prints it out through the serial port.

After burning this example firmware, PC serial terminal will print original value RGBC (red, green, blue, clear).
Identify colors and return RGB values
Get rawData Return original data
Get red Return red value
Get green Return green value
Get blue Return blue value
Execute the following statement in Setup() of the Arduino program
When M5Core2 is stacked with other M5 modules, you need to remove the battery base of Core2, which does not support module stacking.
Reason and solution: The power supply current of the port is insufficient, which can cause the device to not enter the download mode normally. You can try to connect a capacitor (>0.1uF) between the RST pin and the GND pin, or when uploading the program, set the G0 Short-circuit to GND, so that G0 can be set to a low level state normally
Add the header file #include <driver/adc.h> and the function adc_power_acquire(); in the Arduino program
The battery life of the controller is affected by various factors such as battery capacity, operating status, and load, so there is no fixed value. Reducing the load and adopting a sleep strategy can effectively increase the battery life.
Support multiple stacks, the total capacity of the batteries in parallel increases, and the voltage remains unchanged. However, since the discharge of each battery is not balanced during use, there is a voltage difference between the batteries, which may cause the battery to charge backwards. .(will lose part of the battery capacity)
ESP32 module currently does not support WiFi in 5G band, only 2.4G.
Confirm whether the TX/RX pin on the TTL side of the pin is correct, try to add two 120Ω terminal resistors at the beginning and end of the device line to reduce signal reflection interference

Use esptool to read the flash content of esp32 and export the bin file. Refer to the detailed operation
Restart the Arduino IDE, the computer uses the mobile AP mobile network to download.
Refer to the Github link below, use arduino-esp32fs-plugin for file upload
Check if the COM of the corresponding device is selected and if the M5Burner is the latest version
UIFlow users can switch the Label font to Unicode, Arduino users can use the Chinese font library provided in the M5GFX driver library
Confirm whether the SD card format is FAT32, and no partitions exist.
You can refer to the following link for other ESP32 users to share the case program
STAMP C3U enters program download mode operation: 1. Long press the center button (G9) of STAMP C3U when the power is off. 2. Connect to the computer, after the port is successfully identified, program burning.
By default, USB CDC is not enabled, the serial port output started by C3U will be output through the default pins (G20, G21) of UART0. If you want to output through USB, please use the IDE to output Its USB CDC option is enabled. (Arduino users can enable it through Tools->USB CDC on Boot-Enabled. For IDF users, please refer to the ESP IDF official documentation.)
Refer to the UIFlow documentation of the corresponding device to check whether the device has entered the USB programming mode.
Describe the problems encountered in detail. Screenshots of the programs involved or files can be added as attachments and sent to M5Stack's official after-sales email
