Color Recognition Sensor Module TCS3200D/TCS2300
The Color Recognition Sensor Module TCS3200D/TCS2300 is a compact, low-power, and high-accuracy color detection module designed for a wide range of applications, including robotics, automation, and IoT projects. This module utilizes the TCS3200D or TCS2300 color sensor IC, which is a highly sensitive and stable component for detecting and recognizing colors.
The Color Recognition Sensor Module TCS3200D/TCS2300 is capable of detecting and recognizing a wide range of colors, including red, green, blue, and white. The module can also detect the intensity and saturation of the color, providing a comprehensive color analysis. The sensor module works by emitting light from an internal LED, which is then reflected back to the sensor by the object being measured. The reflected light is then analyzed to determine the color and intensity.
