## Article

It is required to create a system based on microcontroller that will light two LEDs depending on the light intensity and detect the colors red, green, yellow.

Hardware Wi-Fi ESP8266-12E WeMos
Modul senzor de culoare TCS34725

led electronic building block module Software Arduino Uno

Steps

1)study of hardware components and programming environment

2)connecting hardware components

3)system testing The sensor will measure the light and when the light intensity decreases, two LEDs will light up. The rgb mode will detect the colors red, green and yellow as if they were a traffic light and will display them in the console. To change the red color to the next color I will press a button.
