APDS 9960 RGB And Gesture Sensor The APDS 9960 RGB And Gesture Sensor is the RGB and Gesture Sensor, 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 APDS-9960 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. Each APDS-9960 also has a detection range of 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) Pinout: VL (optional power to IR LED) GND (Ground) VCC (power to APDS-9960 sensor) SDA (I2C data) SCL (I2C clock) INT (interrupt). Application: RGB Infrared Gesture Sensor Motion Direction Recognition Module
