APDS9960 Gesture, RGB & Proximity Sensor

APDS-9960 Digital RGB Color, Proximity & Gesture Sensor

The APDS-9960 is a multi-modal sensor module featuring integrated IR LEDs and 4 directional photodiodes. It calculates velocity and trajectory to recognize gestures (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, NEAR, FAR), detects proximity within 10-20 cm, and reads precise RGB color values.

Specifications
