APDS9930 Ambient Light and Proximity sensor

This is a fork of the library from Sparkfun for the APDS-9960 sensor. It has been adapted to read values from this other model.

Quick-start guide available here

DO NOT EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE

It will be deleted without reading. If you have an issue, create an issue here on GitHub.

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.

Avago APDS-9930 Breakout Board

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!
