Fermion: TCS3430 Tristimulus Color Sensor (Breakout)

The DFRobot TCS3430 XYZ Tristimulus Color Sensor uses the new - generation TCS3430 spectral sensor IC from the renowned AMS company. It offers advanced digital ambient light sensing (ALS) and CIE 1931 tristimulus color sensing (XYZ). Each channel has a filter to precisely control the optical response, enabling accurate measurement of ambient light and color. These measurements help calculate chromaticity, illuminance, and color temperature, supporting a wide range of applications. ### Key Features - XYZ Tristimulus Filter for accurate color sensing. - Achieves ±10% accuracy in illuminance and correlated color temperature. - Boasts a wide dynamic range and high sensitivity. - Allows programmable gain and integration time. ### Applications - Ideal for color detection, brightness detection, white balance detection, and color temperature measurement. ### Specifications - Power Supply: 3.3V - 5V - Operating Current: < 5mA - LED Operating Current: < 15mA - I2C Address: 0x39 - Operating Temperature Range: - 30°C - 85°C - Dimension: 22*15mm/0.87*0.59" ### Documents - Product wiki and information about the CIE 1931 - XYZ system are available. ### Shipping List - One Fermion TCS3430 Tristimulus Color Sensor Breakout Board. - One 2.54 - 6P Black Single Row Pin Header.

Using this Fermion TCS3430 Tristimulus Color Sensor Breakout Board is quite easy. First, connect it to a power supply within the 3.3V - 5V range. Make sure the operating current stays below 5mA for normal use and the LED operating current below 15mA. You can then use the I2C address 0x39 to communicate with it. When using it for color, brightness, or white - balance detection, or color temperature measurement, place it in the appropriate environment. Keep in mind that the operating temperature should be between - 30°C and 85°C. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures as it may affect the sensor's performance. For maintenance, keep the board clean and free from dust. If there are any issues, refer to the product wiki for troubleshooting. Also, be gentle when handling the 2.54 - 6P Black Single Row Pin Header to prevent damage.
