GY-APDS9960 RGB Color and Motion (Proximity) Sensor

The GY-APDS9960 sensor module is a versatile and advanced device that incorporates an APDS-9960 chip. This chip is capable of measuring ambient light and color, detecting proximity, and recognizing contactless gestures. The sensor's functionality extends to controlling devices such as computers, microcontrollers, and robots through simple hand gestures. It has a detection range of 4-8 inches (10-20 cm). The APDS-9960 chip, a component also found in devices like the Samsung Galaxy S5, is equipped with UV and IR blocking filters, four separate diodes for directional sensitivity, and an I2C-compatible interface.
