Perfect for Arduino Projects
Works flawlessly with the standard Adafruit library. Color detection is surprisingly accurate for the price point.

Accurate RGB Values
Used this for a sorting machine project. It distinguishes colors well under consistent lighting conditions.

Documentation could be clearer
Hardware is fine, but finding example code for ESP32 took some digging. Works once configured properly.

Good sensor, minor wiring notes
The sensor itself is great. Just make sure you have pull-up resistors on your I2C lines if your board doesn't have them built-in.
Q: Which library do you recommend?
A: The Adafruit TCS34725 library is widely supported and easy to use for most platforms.
Q: Does it work in complete darkness?
A: The module has an integrated white LED to illuminate the target surface for consistent readings.
Q: Is this compatible with 5V logic boards?
A: Yes, the module includes a voltage regulator, but logic level shifting is recommended for I2C lines on 5V boards.
Q: What is the maximum distance for color detection?
A: Ideally, the sensor should be within 10mm to 20mm of the object for accurate readings.
Q: Can I change the I2C address?
A: No, the I2C address is fixed by the chip design. You can only use one per I2C bus without a multiplexer.
