Gravity TCS34725 RGB Color Sensor

This Gravity colour sensor from DFRobot measures the red, green and blue components with the TCS34725. An IR blocking filter and four bright white LEDs on the board ensure that colours are detected even without external light. It is connected via I2C, either with the Gravity PH2.0-4P connector or via an XH2.54 pin header for the breadboard.

Note: The connection cable can be converted to male pins with a Dupont cable M-M, so that it also fits an Arduino UNO.

Recommended Accessories:

• Dupont Cables M-M 10cm 20 Pieces

Features:

• Colour sensor TCS34725 with IR blocking filter
• 4 white LEDs, switchable via the LED pin (active HIGH, on when left open)
• Interrupt output INT, active LOW
• Measuring distance 3 mm to 10 mm above the sample
• I2C address 0x29
• XH2.54 pin header must be soldered in

Application Examples:

• Detecting and sorting the colours of objects
• Detecting colour marks and lines on robots
• Reproducing the detected colour with an RGB LED
• Lessons on light and colour
