Color Sensor
The Color Sensor project utilizes an Arduino Mega to interface with a color sensor module and detect RGB (Red, Green, Blue) components of light. This project demonstrates how to configure the color sensor, select different color filters, and read RGB values using Arduino. It's an essential project for applications requiring color detection and analysis, such as color sorting, ambient light sensing, and color-based identification systems.
