TCS3200 Color Sensor Module

TCS3200 Color Sensor Module

The TCS3200 Color Sensor Module is a versatile RGB color detection sensor designed to identify and measure colors by analyzing the intensity of red, green, and blue light reflected from an object. It features the TCS3200 color-to-frequency converter IC and four built-in white LEDs that provide consistent illumination for accurate color sensing. The sensor outputs a square-wave frequency signal proportional to the detected color intensity, making it easy to interface with popular microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and STM32.

Ideal for robotics, color sorting systems, industrial automation, and DIY electronics projects, the TCS3200 offers reliable color recognition with low power consumption and simple digital output. Its programmable frequency scaling and RGB filter selection enable precise color measurement in a wide range of applications.
