GY-9960-3.3 APDS-9960 Proximity Sensing and Non-Contact Motion Detection RGB and Gesture

Model: GY-APDS9960-3.3

Using a chip: APDS-9960

Power supply: 3.3v

Communication: IIC communication protocol

Size: 20mm * 15.3mm

Description:

This is the RGB and Gesture Sensor, a small breakout card with a built-in APDS-9960 sensor that offers ambient light and color sensing, proximity sensing, and touchless gesture sensing. With this RGB and gesture sensor you can control. a computer, microcontroller, robot and more with a simple swipe of your hand! This is basically the same sensor that the Samsung Galaxy S5 uses and is probably one of the best motion sensors on the market for the price.

The APDS-9960 is a serious 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've 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).
