This is the repo for the Core Electronics PiicoDev Colour Sensor VEML6040.
Use the PiicoDev® Colour Sensor to measure the RGBW components of light, or even extract the colour of an object so you can compare apples with oranges. Onboard is a high accuracy colour sensor - the VEML6040 boasts 16-bit precision for each channel (R, G, B, W). By using PiicoDev adapters and cables, you can connect to this sensor without soldering - or use the standard breakout header if you prefer breadboard prototyping. Whichever you prefer, the PiicoDev guides will get you measuring colour in no time!
Features
Small size, high accuracy Onboard High-CRI LED for measuring reflected light Great guides to get you started PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only) 2.54mm breakout for breadboarding/prototyping Manufactured and supported in Australia by Core Electronics
