Product Introduction
The GY-31 TCS230 is actually a color recognition module designed based on the TCS3200 chip. To put it simply, it is a little device that can “translate” colors into digital signals. The TCS3200 is the core chip, responsible for sensing colors and outputting frequency signals. The GY-31 is its “enclosure + driver board”, making it convenient for us to use directly.
It integrates a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter inside, capable of sensing red, green, and blue colors, and can also synthesize more rich color information through algorithms. In simple terms, it can “see” the color of an object and convert the color information into data that we can read.
TCS3200 Feature
- Durable and long-lasting.
- Easy to install and simple to operate.
- High quality.
- Fine workmanship.

TCS3200 Pin Functions
VCC | Connect to 2.7V~5.5V |
GND | Connect to the power ground |
LED | Connect to the IO port of the microcontroller (to control the states of four white LED lights) |
OUT | Connect to the IO port of the microcontroller (for the output frequencies corresponding to the RGB primary colors) |
S0/S1 | Connect to the IO port of the microcontroller (to select different output ratio factors) |
S2/S3 | Connect to the IO port of the microcontroller (to select different color light filters) |
TCS3200 Usage Instructions
- When identifying colors, it is necessary to avoid interference from external light sources. Otherwise, it will affect the result of color identification. It is best to place the sensor and light source in a sealed and non-reflective box for testing.
- There are no special requirements for the light source. However, the light emitted by the light source should be as concentrated as possible. Otherwise, it will cause mutual interference between the sensors. For non-luminous objects, please use an LED supplementary light source for testing.
- When using TCS230 for the first time, or when the TCS230 identification module restarts or the light source is replaced, white balance adjustment is required.
TCS3200 Application
Don’t think it can only be used for small experiments! The applications of GY-31 TCS230 TCS3200 are numerous.
For example, in industrial automation, it can be used in color sorting systems to identify different colors of products and classify them. In smart home, it can be made into an intelligent lighting system to automatically adjust the lights according to the environmental color. Even in artistic creation, it can also be used to identify the colors of paintings and cooperate with robots to perform “intelligent painting” and so on.
This not only has high technical content but also has a low learning threshold, and is especially suitable for those who like hands-on activities to enjoy! Whether you are a student, a maker, or a tech enthusiast who wants to make some small inventions, this color sensor is definitely worth giving a try!
