Reliable and compact
We bought ten of these for our makerspace. They are compact, durable, and consistently provide good data. The integrated IR filter really helps reduce noise from ambient light.

Perfect for color sorting projects
This sensor works flawlessly with my Arduino setup. The I2C communication is stable, and the color recognition is surprisingly accurate even under varying light conditions. Great value for the price.

Easy to integrate
I used this for a university project involving object sorting. The library support is excellent, and I had it up and running in less than an hour. Highly recommended for beginners.

Excellent documentation support
The sensor itself is great, but the available online tutorials and code examples for the TCS34725 make it even better. Got my smart lamp project working immediately.

Good sensor, needs calibration
The hardware quality is solid. However, you do need to spend some time calibrating it for your specific environment to get precise RGB values. Once calibrated, it performs very well.

Great for the price point
For the cost, you can't beat this module. It's not industrial grade, but for hobbyist projects and prototyping, it exceeds expectations. Shipping was fast too.
Q: What is the maximum distance for accurate color detection?
A: For optimal accuracy, the object should be within 10mm to 20mm of the sensor. Detection is possible up to roughly 60mm, but precision decreases with distance.
Q: Does this module work directly with 5V Arduino boards?
A: Yes, the module supports an operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5V, making it fully compatible with standard 5V Arduino boards like the Uno and Mega.
Q: Can this sensor distinguish between black and white?
A: Yes, the sensor measures 'Clear' channel intensity along with RGB values, allowing it to effectively differentiate between dark (black) and light (white) surfaces based on reflected light intensity.
Q: Does the package include jumper wires?
A: The package includes the TCS34725 breakout board with header pins soldered. Jumper wires are not included but are readily available separately.
Q: Is a library required to use this with ESP32?
A: While you can write raw I2C code, we highly recommend using the Adafruit TCS34725 library, which is fully compatible with ESP32 and simplifies integration significantly.
