APDS-9960 Color and Gesture Sensor Breakout

Overview

The 333002 is a compact breakout board featuring the APDS-9960 sensor, which provides integrated ambient light, RGB color, proximity, and gesture sensing capabilities. It utilizes a digital I2C interface and includes built-in UV and IR filters to improve accuracy across different lighting conditions. This module is designed for 3.3V operation and operates reliably in environments from -40C to +85C.

Why Choose This Part

This board combines four optical sensing functions into a single 22mm x 38mm package, significantly reducing PCB real estate requirements. The inclusion of hardware-level UV and IR filters ensures high-quality RGB data even under challenging artificial or natural light sources.

Applications

Getting Started

Connect the module to any microcontroller with an I2C interface, ensuring the VDD is strictly 3.3V as per the specification. Numerous open-source libraries for Arduino and Python are available to decode the complex gesture engine data registers.
