Operating Current: <5 mA
The DFRobot Gravity TCS3430 Tristimulus Color Sensor employs the new generation of TCS3430 spectral sensor IC launched by the well-known AMS company.
It features advanced digital ambient light sensing (ALS) and CIE 1931 tristimulus color sensing (XYZ). Each of the channels has a filter to control its optical response, which allows the device to accurately measure ambient light and sense color.
Provides good data on the RGB scale and also provides two IR readings. Works well with Arduino. The library loaded without any problem and was ready for use right away. You can scan colours from a distance, other sensors require that it is placed with in a few mm from the colour patch. The price was also good. RobotShop shipped right away and I had it at my door in a week.
