TCS3200 Color Sensor Module
Package SOIC
TCS3200 overview
Arduino Color Sensor TCS3200 Color Recognition Sensor Module uses a high-quality light sensor allowing you to sense any color through a combination of Red, Green, and Blue. The module provides all of the pins of the TCS3200 on convenient 0.1″ headers – ideal for use with PCBs, breadboards,s or stripboards. Four white LEDs provide plenty of light for the color sensor and allow you to use the module in any ambient light. The module requires only a single supply voltage between 2.7V and 5.5V – making it compatible with nearly all common microcontrollers, including PICs, AVRs, ARM, Arduino, and more!
