Perfect for my robotics project
This sensor works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The color recognition is surprisingly accurate even under varying light conditions. The I2C library was easy to implement.

Great value, minor calibration needed
Good quality board for the price. I had to spend some time calibrating the white balance for my specific application, but once set up, it performs consistently.

Best sensor for learning
Bought this for a university project on automated quality control. It exceeded expectations and helped us get an A grade. Very responsive to different hues.

Works well with Raspberry Pi
Connected easily to my Pi 4 via GPIO pins. The only reason for 4 stars is that the included header pins were not pre-soldered, but that's expected for this type of board.

Reliable and compact
Used this in a sorting machine prototype. The small form factor made it easy to integrate into tight spaces. Data output is stable and fast.

Excellent documentation support
The module arrived quickly and matched the description perfectly. Found plenty of example code online to get started immediately. Highly recommended for beginners.
Q: Can this sensor distinguish between black and white surfaces reliably?
A: Yes, the TCS34725 includes a clear channel specifically designed to measure luminance, making it effective at distinguishing between black, white, and grayscale values.
Q: Does this work with 5V logic levels directly?
A: Yes, the board features an onboard voltage regulator and level shifting, allowing it to operate safely with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.
Q: What is the maximum distance for accurate color detection?
A: For optimal accuracy, we recommend placing the object within 10mm to 20mm of the sensor. While it can detect up to 60mm, precision decreases with distance.
Q: Does this module come with pre-soldered header pins?
A: No, the module typically comes with unsoldered header pins to allow for flexible mounting options, but they are included in the package.
Q: Is there a library available for ESP32?
A: Absolutely. There are several open-source libraries compatible with the ESP32 platform available on GitHub and the Arduino Library Manager that support this sensor.
