Your electronics can now see in dazzling color with this lovely color light sensor. We found the best color sensor on the market£¬ the TCS34725£¬ which has RGB and Clear light sensing elements. An IR blocking filter£¬ integrated on-chip and localized to the color sensing photodiodes£¬ minimizes the IR spectral component of the incoming light and allows color measurements to be made accurately. The filter means you'll get much truer color than most sensors£¬ since humans don't see IR. The sensor also has an incredible 3£¬800£¬000:1 dynamic range with adjustable integration time and gain so it is suited for use behind darkened glass. We add supporting circuitry as well£¬ such as a 3.3V regulator so you can power the breakout with 3-5VDC safely and level shifting for the I2C pins so they can be used with 3.3V or 5V logic. Finally£¬ we specified a nice neutral 4150°K temperature LED with a MOSFET driver onboard to illuminate what you're trying to sense. The LED can be easily turned on or off by any logic level output.
