APDS9960 RGB Gesture Sensor Detection I2C Breakout Module for Arduino – ROBOZONE

Description

This is APDS9960 RGB Gesture Sensor Detection I2C Breakout Module for Arduino; a small breakout board with a built-in APDS-9960 sensor that offers ambient light and color measuring; proximity detection, and touchless gesture sensing. With this RGB and Gesture Sensor you will be able to control a computer; microcontroller, robot, and more with a simple swipe of your hand. This is in fact, the same sensor that the Samsung Galaxy S5 uses and is probably one of the best gesture sensors on the market for the price.

The APDS9960 is a serious little piece of hardware with built-in UV and IR blocking filters; four separate diodes sensitive to different directions, and an I2C compatible interface. For your convenience; we have broken out the following pins: VL (optional power to IR LED); GND (Ground), VCC (power to APDS-9960 sensor), SDA (I2C data), SCL (I2C clock); and INT (interrupt). Each APDS-9960 also has a detection range of 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm).
