green filters, sixteen have blue filters, and sixteen don't have filters.These photodiodes are intermixed for accuracy, whose values are fed into a current-to-frequency converter which outputs a square wave whose frequency can be matched to a particular color in your dev board's firmware.
Board can operate on both 3.3V and 5V systems.
