The latest spectral sensor from ams-OSRAM... TCS3448 (or TCS34488)
We just wrapped up the AS7343 breakout from ams-OSRAM, with 14-channel spectral sensing, and we saw that their webpage recommended a new version of this sensor called the TCS3448. It's software compatible with the AS7343, so that's nice to not have to write a new driver! We'll figure out what the differences are, but for starters it's a little less expensive at Digi-Key so that's a good reason just on its own to carry!

@adafruit quite cool "The device features a 5 x 5-photodiode array. On top and below the photodiode array there are two photodiodes with dedicated functions such as flicker detection (“FD”) and near- infrared response (“NIR”). The photodiode “C” represents a photodiode without filter and is responsive in the visible spectral range (“VIS”)."
