TCS3200 Color Recognition Sensor Module for Arduino - 3-5V RGB Detection
The TCS3200 Color Recognition Sensor Module is a programmable RGB color sensor compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic systems like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32. It outputs a square wave frequency proportional to detected light intensity for precise color identification.
Features
- Programmable RGB color sensor with TCS3200 IC for accurate color detection.
- Wide 3V to 5V operating voltage range for compatibility with 3.3V and 5V MCU platforms.
- Onboard white LEDs provide consistent illumination independent of ambient light.
- Direct digital frequency output communicates easily with microcontrollers via standard 0.1″ headers.
- Selectable photodiode filter (Red, Green, Blue, Clear) via S2/S3 control pins for spectral analysis.

The TCS3200 Color Recognition Sensor Module utilizes a high-quality light-to-frequency converter IC. It senses color through an array of photodiodes with integrated Red, Green, and Blue filters, outputting a square wave whose frequency is directly proportional to the intensity of the selected color. This digital output method provides high noise immunity and simplifies interface with microcontrollers.
The module includes four white LEDs to illuminate the target, ensuring consistent readings across varying ambient light conditions. All control pins (S0, S1 for frequency scaling; S2, S3 for filter selection; OE for output enable) are broken out to standard 2.54mm pitch headers, making it ideal for prototyping on breadboards or integration into custom PCBs. The sensor operates across a wide voltage range, supporting both 3.3V and 5V logic systems commonly found in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 development environments.
