Color Sensor

The Color Sensor Module is an electronic device designed to detect and measure colors in the visible spectrum. It uses an array of photodiodes with red, green, blue, and clear filters to accurately identify the color of an object or surface. Popular modules like TCS3200 and TCS34725 provide digital output or I2C communication, making them easy to integrate with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontrollers. These sensors are widely used in color sorting, color matching, ambient light sensing, and industrial automation applications.
