Control your stuff like a jedi

This multi functional sensor has the ability to recognize simple gestures. So you can control your project with the wave of your hand.

Maybe useful for a digital picture frame that lets you move forward and backward through photos without touching it.

Like the idea!

Great, Amazon and google. Works together. My sensor arrived today morning, and now I'm not even searched for this video. But it's a great video, a channel worth subscribing

How to Unlock door with gesture pattern like your first name or your initial name like "FKA" ?

[@rondlh20]

Very nice, I will definitely give this one a try...

Perhaps it could be used in an animal detection device such as detecting birds entering or leaving a bird box which could activate a camera

Nice idea!

Hello there! I have a few questions:
1) I can't find the small version on Amazon, only the big one that may be the APDS-9930... So I am actually scared to buy the wrong one.
2) I want to use this inside a lightbox, that will be 3in deep. Do you think it may work??? Will the light inside the box interfere with the reading?
3) the LEDs I want to use are 12V, how can I adapt the voltaje to make it work with my Arduino Uno?
Thank you again!!
I love your videos, they are truly helpful! :D

1) I would recommend eBay for this one. There are several sellers in china, where you can get the sensor for around 2-3€. So you can buy two or three of them from different sellers and you'll get the right one.
2) Quote from the Sparkfun datasheet: "Gesture results are affected by three fundamental factors:
IR LED emission, IR reception, and environmental factors, including motion.". So light might influence the sensor. I also noticed that there is a optimal distance to the gesture sensor to work. It's about 10cm.
3) You can control a LED with a relay or a MOSFET: ua-cam.com/video/Pw1kSS_FIKk/v-deo.html

What happened to my sensor that's not showing the proximity and coloring?

[@wagts2006]

How do I use two sensors at the same time?

[@Nicksperiments]

You can’t. They don’t have a way to change the i2c address so the arduino can’t differentiate between them
