CANABLOX® RGBCIR Color Sensor I2C (CX-VEML3328-S)

The CANABLOX® RGBCIR Color Sensor CX-VEML3328-S uses the Vishay VEML3328 as digital color sensor that measures red, green, blue, clear, and infrared (RGBCIR) light components with high sensitivity and low noise. It features built-in 16-bit resolution with automatic low-light compensation. Ideal for applications such as display color correction, ambient light sensing, and general color detection.

Fixed I2C address: 0x10

Through-Hole (TH) connectors, like the I2C pin header or screw terminals, are included but not factory assembled.

The CANABLOX® ecosystem

CANABLOX® is a modular, clean, stackable ecosystem that replaces the chaos of traditional prototyping with I2C-connected building blocks.

CANABLOX® is not just a hobby tool; it’s a stepping stone from prototype to finished product. With over 60 modules envisioned, from environmental sensors to serial bridges and audio applications, CANABLOX® becomes a platform, not just a product.

Every CANABLOX® module connects directly to a sturdy baseplate or standardized cables, letting you build solid, real-world systems - without the clutter.

All modules use standardized CANABLOX® slot sizes and can be connected either through 4-pin JST-SH cables (compatible with Qwiic and Stemma QT) or by direct mounting onto the baseplate with headers. Every baseplate includes I2C headers (not assembled) and mounting hardware.
