TCS34303 - tri-stimulus color sensor 🔧🌈📸
This weekend, we whipped up a Stemma QT breakout board for the TCS34303 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/ams-osram-usa-inc/TCS34303-OLGA8-LF-T-RDP/7428283) a 'tri-stimulus' color sensor. Most color sensors we've stocked have a red/green/blue/clear diode. This sensor can provide CIE 1931 XYZ output, useful for color correction, or photo/videography. To make it like our old TCS34725 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1334), we added a white neutral LED. Since it has a 1.8V sensor, we had to add a lot of level shifting to make it compatible with 3 or 5V power and logic. Coming soon.
