APDS9960 Sensor Development Board Adafruit APDS9960 Sensor Development Board places the Broadcom APDS-9960 Proximity Light and Gesture Sensor on a PCB with a 3.3V regulator and level shifting. This board can be used with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers. The APDS9960 development board features two mounting holes and a header breakout strip. This board breaks out the power pins and the logic pins of the APDS9960 Sensor. The APDS9960 Sensor can detect simple gestures, return the amount of light (red, blue, green, and clear), and measure the distance of an object.
