APDS-9960 RGB and Gesture Recognition Sensor Module

APDS-9960 RGB and Gesture Recognition Sensor Module is compatible with Arduino. This is a Breakout board of the APDS-9960 sensor which offers ambient light and color measuring (RGB), proximity detection, and gesture sensing. This device is a significant piece of hardware with built-in UV and IR blocking filters. Comparing to the price this board is having a wide range of applications like gesture sensing, Color Sensing, Ambient Light sensing, and also it can be used as a replacement for a mechanical switche. It goes without saying that with this much capability this is the best gesture recognition sensor available in the market.
