DFRobot_TCS

• 中文版

TCS34725 is a low-cost, cost-effective RGB full-color color recognition sensor. The sensor uses optical induction to identify the surface color of an object. Support red, green, blue (RGB) three basic colors, support bright light sensor, can output the corresponding specific value, to help you restore the true color. In order to improve the accuracy and prevent the interference of the surrounding environment, we specially added an infrared visor at the bottom of the sensor to minimize the infrared spectrum component of the incident light and make the color management more accurate. Onboard comes with four high-light LED, which enables the sensor to work normally even in low ambient light, realizing the function of "light filling". The module adopts I2C communication, with PH2.0 and XH2.54 (breadboard) two interfaces, users can choose interfaces according to their own needs, more convenient.
