The \u003cstrong\u003eTCS34725 RGB color sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e reads red, green, blue, and clear light with impressive accuracy, thanks to an on-chip \u003cstrong\u003eIR-blocking filter\u003c\/strong\u003e that removes infrared interference — the same IR your eyes naturally filter out. The result is true-to-life colour readings, even through darker fabric or tinted glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a \u003cstrong\u003e3,800,000:1 dynamic range\u003c\/strong\u003e and adjustable integration time and gain, this little board handles everything from bright sunlight to dim ambient light. It communicates over \u003cstrong\u003eI2C\u003c\/strong\u003e and runs at 3.3V or 5V, making it easy to drop into almost any project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003epurple PCB version\u003c\/strong\u003e — compact, wearable-friendly, and ready to solder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor:\u003c\/strong\u003e TCS34725 (RGBC + IR blocking filter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterface:\u003c\/strong\u003e I2C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3V \/ 5V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,800,000:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnboard LED:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterrupt Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (INT pin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePin Definitions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVIN\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3.3V or 5V power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGND\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3V3\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3.3V output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSCL\u003c\/strong\u003e — I2C clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSDA\u003c\/strong\u003e — I2C data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINT\u003c\/strong\u003e — Interrupt output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLED\u003c\/strong\u003e — Onboard LED control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProject Ideas\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eColour-reactive wearables, interactive art installations, smart gadgets that respond to their environment, or fabric-sensing costumes — this sensor opens up a huge range of possibilities.
