TCS3200/TCS230 RGB Color Sensor Module with White LEDs

Description

TCS3200/TCS230 Color Sensor Module

This module uses an array of photodiodes with red, green, blue and clear filters. It converts detected light intensity into a proportional output frequency. The listing describes four white LEDs to illuminate objects for sensing.

• Operating voltage: 2.7–5.5 V
• Interface: digital TTL
• Programmable output-frequency scaling
• Power-down function
• Operating temperature: -40 to 85 °C
• Board size: 28.4 × 28.4 mm
• Price: MAD 65
• Stock: 87 units

The source describes selecting photodiode filters with S2 and S3 and measuring the corresponding output frequency. Applications listed include color-sorting robots, test-strip reading and color matching.
