About the Color---gesture sensor-APDS-9960-breakout hardware design

Color---gesture sensor-APDS-9960-breakout hardware design is an open source PCB design by SolderedElectronics, published on GitHub under the TAPR-OHL-1.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 22 × 38 mm, with 24 components from 14 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the APDS-9960, NMOS-DUAL and SE5218. By type, the board carries 5 jumpers, 5 capacitors, 5 resistors, 4 relays and 3 ICs.

It belongs with the sensors and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

Hardware design, BOM, gerbers and 3D files for Color-&-gesture-sensor-APDS-9960-breakout designed by Soldered Electronics.

The APDS-9960 is a small sensor that measures four things at once. It recognizes the movements you make in front of it (up, down, left, right) and it can identify the proximity of the object, so you have two more movements: to the sensor and from the sensor. In addition, it has an ambient light sensor and a color sensor which gives red, green, and blue (RGB) colors as output. This sensor with many features was even built into the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone.
