Sensitive to ambient light

Works well but shield it from external light sources for best results. Good value overall.

Great for sorting tasks

Used this in a candy sorter project. It distinguishes red and green M&Ms perfectly.

Good sensor, needs calibration

Hardware is solid. You need to spend time calibrating for specific lighting conditions to get true colors.

Perfect for Arduino Projects

Works flawlessly with the Adafruit library. Color detection is surprisingly accurate for the price.

5 FAQ

Q: Is there a library available?

A: Yes, the Adafruit TCS34725 library is widely supported and easy to use.

Q: What is the detection range?

A: Optimal detection distance is typically 10mm to 20mm from the target object.

Q: Can this work with 5V logic?

A: Yes, the module includes a voltage regulator and level shifting for 5V systems.

Q: What is the I2C address?

A: The default I2C address is 0x29.

Q: Does it work in the dark?

A: It requires some ambient light or an external light source to reflect off the object for color detection.
