TCS3200 Color Sensor Module

TCS3200 Color Sensor Module – Product Overview

The tcs3200 color sensor is a complete RGB color detection solution that integrates a high-performance photodiode array with red, green, blue, and clear filters. The onboard oscillator converts light intensity into a square-wave frequency output, enabling easy interfacing with microcontrollers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other development boards.

Designed with excellent resistance to ambient light interference, this module ensures stable and repeatable color measurements across a wide range of applications.
