TCS3200 RGB Color Sensor Module

The TCS3200 RGB Color Sensor Module is a highly reliable color detection sensor used to identify and measure color intensity in various objects and surfaces. It works by converting light intensity (Red, Green, and Blue components) into frequency signals, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. This module is widely used in color sorting systems, robotics, and industrial automation projects.
