This is the Sparkfun RGB and gesture sensor, a small breakout board with built-in APDS-9960 sensor that provides ambient light and color measurement, proximity detection and non-contact gesture viewing. With this RGB and gesture sensor, you can control a computer, microcontroller, robot and more with a simple handle! This is in fact the same sensor the Samsung Galaxy S5 uses and is probably one of the best gesture sensors on the market for the price.
The APDS-9960 is a serious small hardware with built-in UV and IR blocking filters, four separate diodes that react to different directions, and a I2C compatible interface. For your convenience, we have identified the following pins: VL (optional IR LED power supply), GND (ground), VCC (APDS-9960 sensor power supply), SDA (I2C data), SCL (I2C clock), and INT (interrupt). Each APDS-9960 also has a detection range of 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm).
