Lego Mindstorm HT NXT Color Sensor NCO1038

Add a spectrum of color to your models with the new and updated HiTechnic Color Sensor (Version 2). Detect an extended range of more than 15 target colors and program your NXT robot to react to each color. Build a color sorter to sort LEGO bricks or a line follower that will detect different color lines and surface colors. The HiTechnic Color Sensor is “tuned” to standard LEGO colors. When positioned over a surface, the Color Sensor will return a numeric value identifying the target color. The new Version 2 Color Sensor has enhanced performance including better color recognition and longer detection range. The NXT-G programming block can be downloaded from the Downloads page.

The new and totally redesigned HiTechnic Color Sensor Version 2 (V2) operates by using a single white LED (light emitting diode) to illuminate the target and analyses the color components of the light reflected by the target's surface and calculates a Color Number that is returned to the NXT program.

The Color Sensor V2 works best when it is positioned so that it is not too close to the surface being tested. The picture on the right should be used as a guide for proper distance and angle to the surface. The angle prevents the direct reflection of the light from the LED from coming back into the sensor element, which can prevent proper color determination.

The Color Sensor is housed in a standard MINDSTORMS sensor housing to match the other MINDSTORMS elements and connects to an NXT sensor port using a standard NXT wire and digital I2C communications protocol. The Color Number calculated by the sensor is refreshed approximately 100 times per second.
