APDS9930 Ambient Light and Proximity sensor
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
This is a fork of the [library from Sparkfun for the APDS-9960 sensor](https://github.com/sparkfun/APDS-9960_RGB_and_Gesture_Sensor). It has been adapted to read values from this other model.

# Unmaintained
|
|
I'm not going to maintain this library any more. I will merge pull requests, though. Contributions are welcome. Just don't expect anything from me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note:** even though it says APDS-9960, it's an APDS-9930. That's how I ended up getting one of those. I wanted the RGB sensor. I found this crap in my mailbox. But I decided to write a library for it anyways ;)

|
Getting Started
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
* Download the Git repository as a ZIP ("Download ZIP" button)
|
|
* Unzip
|
|
* Copy the entire library directory (APDS-9930) to
|
|
\<Arduino installation directory\>/libraries
|
|
* Open the Arduino program
|
|
* Select File -> Examples -> APDS9930 -> GestureTest
|
|
* Plug in your Arduino and APDS-9930 with the following connections
|
|
|
|
*-OR-*
|
|
|
|
* Use the library manager
|
|
|
|
| Arduino Pin | APDS-9930 Board | Function |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| 3.3V | VCC | Power |
|
|
| GND | GND | Ground |
|
|
| A4 | SDA | I²C Data |
|
|
| A5 | SCL | I²C Clock |
|
|
| 2 | INT | Interrupt |
|
|
|
|
*P.S.: you already know you can't use this purple little thing with your 5V Arduino without a level shifter, right? :) In case you don't have a level shifter, you can detach the microcontroller from an Arduino Uno, reconnect the oscillator pins, the RX and TX pins, the reset and the LED/SCK pins back to the board with some jumper wires. You can then power the microcontroller from a 3.3V source (the 3V3 output on the board should work) and connect the sensor directly to the MCU. Look up "Arduino on Breadboard".*
|
|
|
|
* Go to Tools -> Board and select your Arduino board
|
|
* Go to Tools -> Serial Port and select the COM port of your Arduino board
|
|
* Click "Upload"
|
|
* Go to Tools -> Serial Monitor
|
|
* Ensure the baud rate is set at 9600 baud
|
|
* Swipe your hand over the sensor in various directions!
