TCS3200 Color Recognition/Detector Module

Reference: #3007

R 335.41 In Stock (4)

The TCS3200 color recognition/detector module is a device that is used to detect and identify the color of an object. It consists of an array of photodiodes, a filter, and a microcontroller. When an object is placed in front of the module, the photodiodes detect the light that is reflected off the object and pass this information to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes the data and uses it to determine the color of the object. The TCS3200 is often used in applications where it is necessary to identify and classify objects based on their color, such as in manufacturing, quality control, and robotics. It is also used in a variety of other applications where color detection is required.

Use this colour recognition sensor to determine the exact wavelenngth of light being emitted by an object or light up to 10mm away. This sensor effectively shines a light on the object, measurring the wavelengths of light that is not absorbed by the object but reflected back to the sensor.
