TCS34725 RGB Color Sensor I2C Waveshare

The TCS34725 by Waveshare is an RGB sensor that allows you to measure the RGB colors of an object. The module also includes an LED to help accurately detect colors. With this sensor, you can sort objects by color. The LED on the board is used to help accurately detect colors and can be turned on and off through the program, allowing you to, for example, only turn it on when you want to take a measurement. The sensor can be operated at 3.3V to 5V and is also suitable for Raspberry Pi and ESP8266 or ESP32. Communication is done via the I2C bus, so there is no need for complicated wiring.

Features:

• Onboard TCS34725FN, integrated ADC, high sensitivity, large dynamic range
