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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"929\"><strong data-start=\"911\"
