APDS-9960 Color, Proximity and Gesture Sensor

APDS-9960 is an advanced digital sensor that combines four different sensing capabilities in a single module: ambient light and color measurement (RGBC), infrared-based proximity detection (0-10 cm), gesture recognition with up/down/left/right direction detection and basic touch detection. Communicates with Arduino and ESP series boards via I2C protocol; since it works with 3.3V logic level, it is recommended to use a level converter in 5V systems. The main difference from TCS3200 or TCS34725 is the ability to recognize hand gestures as well as color measurement, so it is possible to create touch-free interfaces. It is the most functional single-module solution for smartphone screen brightness automation, contactless music player control, smart home gesture controls and interactive robot projects.
