Accurate Color Detection

Very precise readings for my sorting machine. The clear channel helps compensate for ambient light.

5 FAQ

Q: Is this module compatible with 5V logic levels?

A: Yes, the module supports operating voltages from 3.3V to 5V DC, making it safe for most microcontrollers.

Q: Can this sensor be used outdoors in sunlight?

A: Direct sunlight may saturate the sensor. It is best used indoors or in controlled lighting conditions.

Q: How many pins are required for connection?

A: You need 4 pins: VCC, GND, SDA (Data), and SCL (Clock) for I²C communication.

Q: Which library do you recommend for use?

A: We recommend the Adafruit TCS34725 library for Arduino IDE, which is well documented and easy to use.

Q: What is the optimal detection distance?

A: For best accuracy, the object should be within 10mm of the sensor surface.
