Coming Soon – Adafruit AS7343 14-Channel Multi-Spectral Sensor Breakout

from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries

This is a spectrometer on a chip, and it’s getting the Adafruit breakout treatment. The AS7343 is the successor to our AS7341, bumped from 10 channels to 14, with 12 spanning visible light into near-infrared (380nm to 1000nm), plus clear and flicker detection. Same footprint and pinout as the ’41, so your existing wiring and enclosures carry over unchanged. Ladyada finished the library and testing, then pointed OpenClaw at an ESP32-S2 TFT hooked up to the sensor. Claude generated a real-time color bar visualization that’s one of the nicer sensor demos we’ve done… hold it over a green light and watch the yellow-green channels spike, wave it past a reddish-orange source and the spectral output shifts to match. If you want to see what multi-spectral color sensing can do, check out the Color Sensing Music Player guide – we use DUPLO bricks that play songs based on color. The AS7343 would make it even better!
