A case for the narrow "two hole" version of the TCS3472 PCB from aliexpress/ebay.

You'll need to cut the two flanges of the PCB to make it fit. See the photos for cabling and assembly.

Use a 9x3 strip of perfboard cut to size for the I2C connectors and pins.

The two extra pins can be used to either

  • make the LED and INT pins available -> connect the LED and INT pins or
  • disable the built-in LEDs with a jumper or external switch -> connect the LED and GND pins

BTW: If you, like me, wonder about the difference between TCS3472 and TCS34725 - there is none, the latter is just the variant of the chip with address 0x29 and flexible, i.e. non 1.8V, I2C bus voltage.

Materials and methods

I used PETG as it is more flexible, PLA might break when you push both parts together.

Both parts can be printed without supports, if rotated accordingly.
