Great sensor, needs careful calibration
The hardware quality is solid. However, you need to spend some time calibrating the white balance for your specific lighting conditions. Once set up, it reads RGB values very consistently.

Good for educational purposes
Bought five of these for a high school robotics club. Students found them easy to program using the standard Adafruit library. One unit had a slightly loose header, but otherwise great.

Easy integration with ESP32
Connected this to an ESP32 within minutes. The pinout is clearly labeled, and the voltage regulator handles 5V input without issues. Highly recommended for IoT prototypes.

Accurate color detection
I use this to sample real-world colors for my digital art projects. The ability to adjust gain and integration time allows for precise readings even in low-light environments.

Perfect for color sorting projects
This module works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The I2C communication is stable, and the library support is excellent. I used it to sort M&Ms by color, and the accuracy was surprising.

Excellent value for money
Compared to other color sensors on the market, this offers the best price-to-performance ratio. The clear channel data is particularly useful for ambient light compensation.
Q: Do you provide a sample library for Raspberry Pi?
A: While we do not host our own proprietary library for Python, this sensor is fully compatible with the popular Adafruit CircuitPython TCS34725 library, which works perfectly on Raspberry Pi.
Q: Does this module come with the pin headers soldered?
A: No, the pin headers are included in the package but are not pre-soldered. This allows you to choose between straight or right-angle headers based on your project needs.
Q: What is the maximum distance for accurate color reading?
A: For the most accurate results, the object should be within 5-10mm of the sensor. Accuracy decreases significantly as the distance increases due to light dispersion.
Q: Is it compatible with 5V logic microcontrollers like the Arduino Uno?
A: Yes, the board includes a voltage regulator and level shifting circuitry, making it safe to use with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.
Q: Can this sensor detect specific hex color codes directly?
A: The sensor outputs raw RGB and clear channel data. You will need to write or use existing code to convert these raw values into hex codes or specific color names based on your calibration.
