Waveshare TCS3200 Color Sensor

Description

The TCS3200 sensor is a color sensor. This TCS3200 Color Recognition Sensor is a high-quality light sensor allowing you to sense any color through a combination of Red, Green, and Blue. Its output is a square wave with frequency directly proportional to incident light intensity. This module can be directly interfaced with Microcontrollers, Arduino Boards, Raspberry Pi, etc.

 Connections
