Dear customer,

thank you for purchasing our product.
Please note our following instrucons:

1. Connecting the sensor

Connect the color sensor, as seen in the following image, to the pins of your Arduino.
The two pins LED and GND, which are next to each other, need to be wired to each other with a
jumper or a cable.

2. Installing the library

Before you can transfer the code to your Arduino, you need to add the Bevor Sie den entsprechen
Quellcode auf Ihren Arduino übertragen, muss zunächst die TimerOne Bibliothek hinzugefügt werden.
Dazu klicken Sie bie, wie im Bild zu sehen, auf Sketch —> Bibliothek einbinden —> Bibliotheken
verwalten.

2. Installing the library

Before you can transfer the code to your Arduino, you need to add the TimerOne library to your
Arduino libraries.
Therefore, click on Sketch -> Include Libary -> Manage Libraries.

In the now opening libary manager you need to search for the TimerOne libary.
Install the library.
