The Great Search: Color Sensor to Replace TCS34725

Adafruit Industries

The chip shortage may be winding down, but there are still a few parts that didn't make it to the other side. To wit: the TCS34725 color sensor, a mainstay in so many Adafruit projects (https://learn.adafruit.com/products/1334/guides) has been discontinued (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/ams-osram-usa-inc/TCS34725FN/3737685). We loved this sensor as it had a few nice things going for it: Red/Green/Blue and Clear diode sensors, IR blocking/cut filter, INTerrupt output, I2C communication, and a low cost of under $2 in quantity. We may not be able to get the exact same sensor, but let's try to find something with as much overlap as possible.
