Hi. I would like to use a tsc34725 color sensor on my Microbit; however, I can find any extension for the color sensor. How will I be able to use it on my Microbit?
Thank you very much in advance.

It appears as if the TSC34725 uses I2C to communicate. You could look at one of the existing extensions that use I2C for the micro:bit and rewrite it for the color sensor. Adafruit used to sell this color sensor, so they have a guide on it which links to Arduino-based and CircuitPython based libraries which you can port to MakeCode for micro:bit.

Hi @Kacky — welcome to the forum.
You might want to search the forum for other people using the sensor. For example:
- @frank_schmidt has posted a video showing an example: Video:Color Sensor RGB with Micro:bit and LED Color Display .
- It looks like someone created an extension to support it: https://github.com/samnied/pxt-tcs34725 (Thanks to @MKleinSB, who shared the extension in this post: Micro:bit and external color sensor? - #3 by mathpun).
