-====== Functional Description ======+===== Functional Description =====
 The Pmod Color utilizes the TCS3472 to detect color in the near vicinity. While communicating with the host board via the [[pmod:communication_protocols:I2C|I²C protocol]] using an I²C address of 0x29 users can measure color. A user controlled white LED is also provided to help illuminate the object and improve color determination; the LED is very bright so it is recommended that users do not stare at the light. The Pmod Color utilizes the TCS3472 to detect color in the near vicinity.
