Escape Room Color Sensor Puzzle Tutorial - Arduino and TCS3200/TCS34725 Implementation

Learn how to create an engaging escape room puzzle using Arduino and color sensors in this comprehensive 46-minute video tutorial. Explore the implementation of both the TCS3200 (or TCS230) and the more advanced TCS34725 color sensors to measure RGB light components. Discover how to use these sensors as puzzle inputs, requiring players to present specific colored objects or mix light sources to solve challenges. Gain insights into sensor calibration, accounting for ambient lighting, and comparing colors using Euclidean distance. Follow along with detailed hardware explanations, wiring instructions, and Arduino code demonstrations for both sensor types. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have the knowledge to incorporate color-based puzzles into your own escape room designs, enhancing player engagement and creativity.
