Wiring was confusing
Documentation could be better regarding pinout for specific boards. Sensor works once connected correctly.

Fast response time
Great for DIY gestures. No noticeable lag between hand movement and signal output.

Perfect replacement
Compatible as stated with my existing APDS-9960 code. Did not need to change any libraries.

Good sensor but sensitive to light
Works well indoors but sunlight interferes with the IR sensing. Overall good value for the price.

Works great with Arduino
Used this for a home automation project to control lights with hand waves. Very responsive and easy to wire.
Q: Can you confirm the pinout order?
A: From left to right: VCC, GND, SDA, SCL when facing the sensor component.
Q: What is the maximum detection range?
A: The optimal detection range is up to 15 centimeters depending on lighting conditions.
Q: Does it work with Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, it is compatible with Raspberry Pi via the I2C interface.
Q: Is this module 5V tolerant?
A: Yes, the module operates safely between 3.3V and 5V DC.
Q: What library should I use?
A: You can use the standard APDS-9960 Arduino library for most functions.
