## Summary description

Expansion board for Arduino featuring the Joy-IT TCS3200 color sensor (model sen-color). Designed for detecting and measuring color via the TCS3200 sensor, this module connects to Arduino-compatible boards for projects such as color sorting, light color measurement, and educational electronics. Provides a compact interface for integrating color detection into prototypes and applications.

## Long description

The Joy-IT TCS3200 Arduino expansion board sen-color is a compact interface module that integrates the TCS3200 color sensor with Arduino-compatible development boards. It is designed to detect and measure color by converting light intensity from red, green and blue filters into frequency output. The board provides standardized connections for power and signal lines so the TCS3200 sensor can be used in prototypes and educational projects such as color sorting, ambient light color measurement and simple optical sensing tasks.
Advantages
This expansion board offers an easy-to-use hardware interface that simplifies connecting the TCS3200 color sensor to Arduino systems. The module exposes the sensor’s control and output pins in a compact layout, reducing wiring complexity and accelerating prototyping. It is suitable for learning and development environments where quick integration of color detection functionality is required. The board preserves the TCS3200’s ability to select different photodiode filters and output frequency ranges for adaptable measurements.
Suitable for
 Color sorting and classification projects with Arduino
 Measuring light color and basic colorimetry experiments
 Educational electronics and microcontroller training
 Prototyping sensors for robotics or automation tasks
Key specifications
 Sensor type: TCS3200 color sensor module (RGB photodiode array with frequency output)
 Interface: Arduino-compatible signal and control pins exposed for digital input/output
 Output: Frequency signal proportional to detected color intensity
 Control: Pins for filter selection and output scaling to adjust sensitivity
 Form factor: Compact expansion board suitable for breadboard or shield-style connections
How to use
Connect the expansion board to an Arduino-compatible board using the exposed power (VCC, GND) and signal pins. Use the control pins to select the desired photodiode filter (red, green, blue, or clear) and to set the output scaling where available. Read the sensor’s frequency output on a digital input pin and convert frequency to intensity in software, using example libraries or routines for the TCS3200. Calibrate the sensor for ambient lighting and target colors by measuring reference samples and adjusting thresholds in your sketch.
Usage recommendations
For reliable measurements, perform calibration under the same lighting conditions as intended operation, avoid strong direct reflections, and use consistent distance and orientation between the sensor and the target. When integrating with Arduino projects, use existing TCS3200 libraries and sample code to speed development and ensure correct frequency-to-color conversion.
