From what we understand, the sensor’s resolution isn’t that great. But for simple color detection, it is easy to use and effective.

Researchers from the University of Johannesburg in South Africa have developed a cleaning system for solar modules based on the TCS3200 color sensor and the Arduino Uno open-source microcontroller.

[Rick] chose an Arduino to do all the heavy lifting for the light sensor and activating the LEDs. After a few tests [Rick] got his color sensor working, but it’s not up to par with what he had ...

If you’d like to get more specific, Michael Klements’ Arduino-based scanner lets you quantify colors in numerical RGB values via a TCS34725 sensor.

You can actually build your own color-sensing lamp with this $8 Adafruit RGB color sensor, and follow along with plenty of Arduino tutorials online. But look how cool and sleek its product video is!

The Design Idea in Figure 1 is a color detector capable of generating an RGB triplet over a high dynamic range, a useful attribute for machine vision applications. The circuit implements auto-exposure ...

Using color as a shorthand allows Pixy to output a more reasonable quantity of data for processing (it can track up to seven colors at once).
