About this item

The APDS9960 is a versatile sensor module that combines multiple sensing capabilities into a single compact device. It features proximity detection, ambient light sensing, RGB color sensing, and gesture recognition, making it ideal for applications requiring touchless control and environmental awareness. The sensor operates over an I²C interface, simplifying integration with microcontrollers. It can detect gestures such as up, down, left, and right swipes, and measure ambient light intensity and RGB values. With its low power consumption and small form factor, the APDS9960 is suitable for wearable devices, smart home applications, and interactive user interfaces.
