class adafruit_tcs34725.TCS34725(i2c, address=41)

Driver for the TCS34725 color sensor.

active

Get and set the active state of the sensor. Boolean value that will enable/activate the sensor with a value of True and disable with a value of False.

color_raw

Read the raw RGBC color detected by the sensor. Returns a 4-tuple of 16-bit red, green, blue, clear component byte values (0-65535).

color_rgb_bytes

Read the RGB color detected by the sensor. Returns a 3-tuple of red, green, blue component values as bytes (0-255).

cycles

Get and set the persistence cycles of the sensor.

gain

Get and set the gain of the sensor. Should be a value of 1, 4, 16, or 60.

integration_time

Get and set the integration time of the sensor in milliseconds.

interrupt

Get and clear the interrupt of the sensor. Returns a bool that’s True if the interrupt is set. Can be set to False (and only False) to clear the interrupt.

lux

Return the detected light level in lux.

max_value

Get and set the minimum threshold value (AIHT register) of the sensor as a 16-bit unsigned value.

min_value

Get and set the minimum threshold value (AILT register) of the sensor as a 16-bit unsigned value.

temperature

Return the detected color temperature in degrees.
