TCS230 Colour Sensor Module

A breakout board for the TCS320 colour sensor which also includes white LEDs for reflective illumination. The TCS230 colour sensor combines configurable silicon photodiodes and a current-to-frequency converter on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit. The full-scale output frequency of this colour sensor can be scaled by one of three preset values via two control input pins. This TCS230 colour sensor comes with digital input and output which allows direct interface to a microcontroller or other logic circuitry.

Note: LED's are not controllable, sensor is sensitive to infra-red light.
