Introduction
This module is based on the color sensor TCS3414CS with digital output I2C. Based on the 8*2
array of filtered photodiodes and 16-bit analog-to-digital converters, you can measure the color
chromaticity of ambient light or the color of objects. Of the 16 photodiodes, 4 have red filters, 4
have green filters, 4 have blue filters and 4 have no filter(clear). With the synchronization input
pin, an external pulsed light source can provide precise synchronous conversion control.
