Description:
APDS-9930 provides an I²C-compatible interface in a single 8-pin package ambient light sensor (ALS, Ambient Light Sensor) and proximity sensor with infrared LED's, where ambient light sensor is approximated using a dual LED illumination 0.01 lux under low lumens human visual response performance, high sensitivity can be provided so that the operation of the device in the dark glass. The proximity sensor can be adjusted through the full 100 mm object detection, eliminating the terminal equipment and sub-assembly factory calibration requirements.

Description: This is the SparkFun RGB and Gesture Sensor, a small breakout board with a built in APDS-9960 sensor that offers ambient light and color measuring, proximity detection, and touchless gesture sensing. With this RGB and Gesture Sensor you will be able to control a computer, microcontroller, robot, and more with a simple swipe of your hand! This is, in fact, the same sensor that the Samsung Galaxy S5 uses and is probably one of the best gesture sensors on the market for the price.
