TCS3200 RGB Color Sensor For Arduino
An RGB colour sensor breakout board based on the TAOS TCS3200 chip, with four built-in white LEDs for illumination. The TCS3200 can detect and measure a wide range of visible colours by converting light intensity to a frequency output that can be read directly by a microcontroller.
The sensor contains an array of photodetectors with red, green, blue, and clear filters distributed evenly to eliminate location bias. An internal oscillator produces a square-wave output whose frequency is proportional to the intensity of the selected colour channel.
Key Features
- TCS3200 RGB Sensor – High-resolution light-to-frequency conversion
- 4 White LEDs – Built-in illumination for consistent readings
- Digital TTL Output – Communicates directly with microcontrollers
- Programmable Output – Selectable colour channel and full-scale frequency
- Power Down Feature – Low-power standby mode
Specifications
- Sensor Chip: TCS3200
- Operating Voltage: 2.7–5.5 V
- Interface: Digital TTL
- Board Size: 28.4 × 28.4 mm
Ideal For
- Colour detection and sorting
- Test strip reading
- Ambient light sensing and calibration
- Colour matching applications
