Description:
This 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. 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).
The APDS-9960 provides an I2C interface-compatible Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) and a proximity sensor with an infrared LED in a single 8-pin package, where the ambient light sensor uses a dual photodiode to approximate 0.01 lux illumination. The performance of the human eye visual response provides the high sensitivity that allows the device to operate after dark glass. The proximity sensor is fully calibrated for 100 mm object detection, eliminating factory calibration requirements for terminal and subassemblies. From the bright sunlight to the dark room, the proximity detection function works well. The addition of micro-optical lenses to the module provides high efficiency of infrared energy transmission and reception, can reduce the overall power consumption. In addition, the internal state machine allows the device to enter the low power mode, bringing very low average power consumption.

• Integrated optics for ALS, IR LEDs and proximity detectors
