Fermion: TCS3200 Color Sensor

SKU: SEN0101

The Gravity: TCS3200 Color Sensor is a comprehensive color detection tool equipped with a TAOS TCS3200 RGB sensor chip and white LEDs, designed for Arduino applications. It is capable of detecting a wide range of visible colors, making it ideal for various uses such as test strip reading, color sorting, ambient light sensing, calibration, and color matching. The sensor consists of an array of photo detectors with red, green, blue, or no filters, ensuring balanced color detection across the array. An internal oscillator generates a square-wave output, providing a frequency proportional to the intensity of the detected color, thus enabling precise color measurement.
