APDS-9960 RGB Light Motion and Hand Gesture IR Sensor Module for Arduino (6 Pins)
This revolutionary breakout board offers ambient light, colour measuring, proximity detection, and touchless gesture detection. It is tiny and can be connected to your computer or Arduino micro-controller for your robotic and DIY projects. In fact, it is the same type of sensor used in the Samsung Galaxy S5 phone.
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. The APDS-9960 has a detection range of 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm).
Note that this module is the same as the SENS-99-5 but with and extra pin for powering the IR LED.
The pin configuration is as follows:
- VL (Power for the IR LED)
- GND (Ground)
- VCC (Power: 3.3VDC)
- SDA (I2C data)
- SCL (I2C clock)
- INT (interrupt)
