Grove - Color Sensor V3.0 - I2C Interface - VEML6040 Based

The Grove - Color Sensor V3.0 is a compact RGBW color sensor based on the Vishay VEML6040. The sensor communicates through an I2C interface and can measure red, green, blue, and white light independently. This makes the module suitable for color detection, ambient light sensing, and interactive electronics projects.

Thanks to the Grove connector, the sensor can easily be connected to compatible development boards without soldering. The module supports both 3.3V and 5V systems and works with platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and the Seeed Studio Grove ecosystem.
