Sensitivity varies

Works well in low light, but direct sunlight interferes with the IR detection sometimes. Indoor use recommended.

Works perfectly with ESP32

Used this for a smart lamp project. Recognition is fast and accurate within 10cm. Very happy with the performance.

Good sensor but needs 3.3V

Make sure you use a logic level converter if using with 5V Arduino. Otherwise great value for the price.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the maximum detection distance?

A: The optimal range is within 15cm. Beyond that distance, reliability may decrease significantly.

Q: How many pins does it use?

A: It uses 4 pins: VCC, GND, SCL, and SDA for I2C communication.

Q: Is there a library for Arduino?

A: Yes, several open-source libraries are available on GitHub specifically for the PAJ7620U2 chip.

Q: Does this work with 5V logic?

A: The sensor operates at 3.3V. We recommend using a level shifter for 5V microcontrollers to ensure safety.

Q: Can it detect gestures in the dark?

A: Yes, it uses infrared light so it works effectively in complete darkness.
