| - | This type of sensor gives information about the colour of the light illuminating the sensor surface. Because computers often use RGB (red, green, blue) colour schemes sensor returns three values representing the intensity of three components. Colour sensors usually contain white LEDs to illuminate the surface, which colour should be distinguished by them. The colour sensor uses an SPI or TWI interface to send readings. Some models of colour sensors include an additional gesture detector which recognises simple gestures (up, down, left, right). | + | This type of sensor gives information about the colour of the light illuminating the sensor surface.
