Description
APDS-9960 RGB Infrared Gesture Sensor
This is the same sensor that the Samsung Galaxy S5 uses and is probably one of the best gesture sensors on the market for the price. This is APDS9960 RGB Gesture Sensor Detection I2C Breakout Module for Arduino is a small breakout board with a built-in APDS-9960 sensor which offers ambient light and color measuring, proximity detection, and touchless gesture sensing With this APDS-9960 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.Technical Details
