Color and Proximity Sensor - AndyMark Standard Sensors

AndyMark’s line of Standard Sensors is designed specifically for FRC and FTC teams. Using standard 1.5” pitch mounting holes, the sensor’s small footprint fits nicely on a 1” wide tube. Easily swap out sensors for reading distance, color, or position using I2C or CAN communication, and head into matches worry-free with locking connectors.

• When to use this sensor
  • Detecting the color of nearby objects (game elements, indicators, tape).
  • Presence / approach detection at short range (e.g., “object is in the mechanism”).
  • Measuring ambient light to auto-adjust thresholds or avoid false positives.
  • Classifying states (e.g., “red vs blue” or “object present vs absent”) without external optics.
• Typical integrations
  • Place near an intake to confirm piece acquisition and read team color.
  • Mount along a chute or feeder to detect jam/flow with proximity.
  • Face the field to classify marker colors or read LED indicators on mechanisms.
  • Use ambient light readings to auto-calibrate thresholds between practice and event lighting.
