TCS3200 Color Recognition Sensor

The TCS3200 color recognition sensor is an intelligent light-to-frequency converter designed to detect the intensity of different colors. It contains an array of photodiodes, each covered with red, green, blue, or clear filters. By selecting different filter groups through control pins, the sensor outputs a frequency proportional to the intensity of the detected color.

This module is widely used in applications such as color sorting, ambient light sensing, object recognition, and robotics. Its high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and simple digital frequency output make it easy to interface with microcontrollers. The sensor also includes configurable scaling to adapt to bright or dim lighting conditions.
