Color Sensor TCS3200
🎨 Color Sensor – TCS3200
Full-Color Recognition Module for Arduino & Robotics
The TCS3200 color sensor detects and measures the intensity of red, green, and blue (RGB) colors using an array of photodiodes with color filters. It outputs a square wave signal whose frequency is directly proportional to the detected color intensity, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32.
