Proximity Light Sensor for 3.3 & 5VDC Micro-Controllers
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, well whatever it is, the object detected by this sensor passed in this certain section of the sensor and was a distance part. This sensor is often referred to as the gesture sensor, since users can write neat software for the sensor to pick up when an pass by the sensor. You can have the direction, proximity and even color of the of the object that passes over the sensor.
It’s a super cool all in one wonder! Thanks to the I2C protocol integrated onto this board, you can multiple devices sending signal to your microcontroller using two wires for data. All you have to do in software is address them. This board has even provided an interrupt pin.
Note: This device runs on 3.3VDC and will work on the Arduino UNO via 5v thanks to the integrated voltage regulation system.
