This post shows you how to detect colors with the Arduino using the TCS230\/<\/strong><\/span>TCS3200 color sensor<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The TCS3200 color sensor can detect a wide variety\u00a0of\u00a0colors based on their wavelength. This sensor is specially useful for color recognition projects such as color matching, color sorting, test strip reading and much more. <\/span><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n

The TCS3200 color sensor – shown in the figure below – \u00a0uses a TAOS TCS3200 RGB sensor chip to detect color. It also contains four white LEDs that light up the object in front of it.<\/span><\/p>\n
