Gorillacell Module 046: RGB Color Sensor
Table of Contents

RGB Color Sensor is an input device used to measure the intensity of light across the three primary colors — red, green, and blue.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit comes with an RGB Color Sensor module driven by the TCS34725 chip. It operates by illuminating an object with white light, then analyzing the reflected light through three color filters (red, green, and blue). Each filtered color is detected by dedicated photodiodes, allowing accurate measurement of color intensity and identification of the object’s color.
