The Color 7 Click Board™ is a very accurate colour sensing Click Board™ which features the TCS3472 colour light to digital converter with IR filter, from AMS. It contains a 3x4 matrix of photosensitive elements, which can sense red, green, blue and clear light components. Additional IR resistive coating reduces the influence of the IR component of the light spectrum. Four low noise 16-bit ADCs ensure the high dynamic range, making this sensor suitable to be used behind dark glass.
The sensor offers a fast I2C interface for communication with the host MCU. The ability to measure light without the influence of the IR makes this device a good choice for Ambient Light Sensing (ALS).
