TCS3200 Color Sensor Module – RGB Detection for Arduino & Raspberry Pi - SR078

Description:

The TCS3200 Color Detection Sensor Module is a programmable RGB sensor designed for accurate color recognition. It converts light intensity into a square-wave output frequency, readable by most microcontrollers. Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32, and ESP boards, this module is ideal for color-sorting robots, line followers, and environmental sensing projects.
