TCS34725 Color Sensor

$12.00

The TCS34725 device provides a digital return of red, green, blue (RGB), and clear light sensing values. An IR blocking filter, integrated on-chip and localized to the color sensing photodiodes, minimizes the IR spectral component of the incoming light and allows color measurements to be made accurately. The high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and IR blocking filter make the TCS34725 an ideal color sensor solution for use under varying lighting conditions and through attenuating materials. This data is transferred via an I2C to the host.

Module Connections

The module brings out the following connections.

1 x 7 Header

LED = LED control input. Leave floating for LED always on. Pull LOW to turn LED off
INT = Interrupt output active LOW. Output is open-collector so requires pull-up resistor. Connects to an interrupt input on the MCU if used.
SDA = I2C SDA line. Connects to SDA on MCU
SCL = I2C SCL line. Connects to SCL on MCU
3V3 = 3.3V output from the on-board 3.3V regulator
GND = Ground connects to ground on the MCU
VIN = Power input. Connects to 3.3V or 5V on the MCU
