Description
The TCS3200 Color Sensor Module converts light intensity of different colors into a frequency output, enabling precise detection of colors in the visible spectrum. The module integrates an array of photodiodes with red, green, blue, and clear filters, and outputs a square wave frequency proportional to the intensity of the detected color. It communicates easily with microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. Applications include line-following robots, color sorting machines, smart toys, and DIY color recognition projects.
