Overview
In this tutorial, you’ll learn about the TCS230 sensor and how to use it with Arduino to recognize colors.
At the end of this tutorial, you’ll find a fascinating idea to create a color picker pen. With this pen, you can scan the colors of the objects around you, and start painting on an LCD using that color.

TCS3414CS Color Sensor Features
TCS3414CS digital color sensor is based on TCS3414CS chip. It is designed to accurately derive the color chromaticity and illuminance (intensity) of ambient light. TCS3414CS color sensor provides a digital output I2C with 400kH speed. This sensor is able to detect different light spectra with high accuracy and speed.
Note
This module can’t detect the color of objects. It can only detect the reflected light spectra of objects. The higher the value of reflected l...
TCS230 Color Sensor Features
The TCS230 chip reads an 8x8 array of photodiodes and uses them to recognize color. Sixteen photodiodes have blue filters, 16 photodiodes have green filters, 16 photodiodes have red filters, and 16 photodiodes are clear with no filters.The TCS230 module has 4 white LED. Photodiodes receive the light reflection of these LEDs from the surface of the object and generate an electric current depending on the color they receive.In addition to photodiodes, this sensor also has a cu...
TCS34725 Color Sensor Features
The RGB TCS3472 Color Sensor Module is one of the best modules with which you can see different and stunning colors. This module is the best color sensor on the market that has RGB and Clear light sensing elements.
This module has an IR filter that filters the IR spectrum, resulting in a larger color spectrum that can be viewed with high accuracy. The range of this module is 3800000:1. Therefore it is suitable for use behind dark glass.
