TCS3200 Color Sensor Module – RGB Color Recognition Module
The TCS3200 programmable color light-to-frequency converter combines configurable silicon photodiodes and a current-to-frequency converter on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. The output is a square wave (50% duty cycle) with frequency directly proportional to light intensity (irradiance). TCS3200 RGB Color Sensor Module detects color using a light-to-frequency converter, ideal for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller projects in color sorting, detection, and recognition systems.
