  • Supports fill-light by onboard LEDs
  • Ambient light sensing and calibration

The TCS3200 Color Sensor contains four types of filters: red filter, green filter, blue filter and clear with no filter. When the sensor is illuminated by a ray of light, the types of filters (blue, green, red, or clear) used by the device can be selected by two logic inputs.

How to Use

In the case of working with a MCU:

  • VCC ↔ 2.7V ~ 5.5V
  • GND ↔ power supply ground
  • LED ↔ MCU.IO (controlling the 4 white LEDs)
  • OUT ↔ MCU.IO (RGB color output frequency)
  • S0/S1 ↔ MCU.IO (Output frequency scaling selection inputs)
  • S2/S3 ↔ MCU.IO (Photodiode type selection inputs)

Great price, good form factor

This sensor works. Don't expect it to be a super-accurate sensor. You select one color (R, G, or B) or white and it gives you back a value corresponding to the amount of that light hitting the sensor. You can cycle through the different colors fairly quickly if you want to read R, G, and B separately. Some other sensors have a bezel around the sensor to block side light, and on this sensor it's notably missing.
