2. Soldering the headers Before using your click board , make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. 1 IR gesture click 2 3 4. Essential features With APDS-9960 chip can be configured to recognize a number of contactless gestures. From basic directional swipes (up, down, left or right) to more complex combinations. Since the chip can work as a proximity sensor, the gesture engine can be configured to wake up automatically when a users hand approaches. Power consumption can be Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure further optimized with adjustable IR LED the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are timing. Beside gesture detection, the IC can Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the be implemented for color sensing, ambient light sensing and proximity applications, appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. potentially simplifying your design. 1. Introduction IR gesture click carries a APDS-9960 IC, which a digital proximity, ambient light, RGB 3. Plugging the board in and gesture sensor. The sensor integrates click an LED and four directional photodiodes Once you have soldered the headers your that receive the reflecting light. An internal board is ready to be placed into the desired BOARDS gesture engine deduces the velocity, mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the cut www.mikroe.com direction and distance of nearby objects in the lower-right part of the board with the (while cancelling the ambient light). The markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS board communicates with the target board socket. If all the pins are aligned IR Gesture click Manual v100 MCU through the mikroBUS I2C interface, correctly, push the board all the with an additional hardware inerrupt pin way into the socket. 0100000096826 (INT). Gesture click uses a 3.3V power supply. 8. Code examples 5. Schematic Once you have done all the necessary preparations, its time to get your click board up and running.
