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

Author: Adafruit Industries February 18, 2026 Duration: 1:45
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!

Tune into Adafruit Industries for a direct line to the workbench. This isn't a polished lecture series; it's the sound of making things happen, coming straight from the company's factory floor in New York City. You'll hear the real-world process of bringing do-it-yourself electronics to life, with all its experimentation and discovery. Each episode is a deep dive into practical, open-source projects that demystify technology and empower you to build your own. The conversations and demonstrations focus on turning concepts into tangible creations you can actually make at home, stripping away the intimidation factor of hardware and coding. Hosted by the team at Adafruit Industries, this educational podcast serves as an audio companion to their extensive video library, offering context, stories, and insights behind the builds. It's for anyone with a curiosity about how their gadgets work and a desire to roll up their sleeves and learn by doing. Expect a friendly, inclusive, and hands-on approach to electronics education that feels more like a collaborative workshop than a formal class.
