Gorillacell Module 051: Gesture Sensor
Table of Contents
Gesture Sensor is an electronic input device that detects and interprets hand gestures made in front of the sensor. It works by emitting light and analyzing the reflected light patterns to determine the direction and movement of the hand.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit comes with a Gesture Sensor module powered by the APDS9960 driver chip. The APDS9960 is a digital proximity, ambient light, color, and gesture sensor that can detect gestures such as up, down, left, and right movements, making it ideal for touchless control applications.

PINOUT
It has 5 pins which are
- GND for - the ground pin,
- VCC- for the supply voltage,
- SDA- for the I2C serial data pin,
- SCL- for the I2C serial clock pin, and
- INT- for the interrupt pin. INT pin will not be used for this time.
Gesture Sensor module can be accessed through the 0x39 I2C address.
