2. Soldering the headers
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into the desired
mikroBUS
™
socket. Make sure to align the cut
in the lower-right part of the board with the
markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS
™
socket. If all the pins are aligned
correctly, push the board all the
way into the socket.
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
Turn the board upside down so that
the bottom side is facing you upwards.
Place shorter pins of the header into the
appropriate soldering pads.
Before using your click board
™
, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and
right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers
are included with the board in the package.
4. Essential features
With APDS-9960 chip can be congured to
recognize a number of contactless gestures.
From basic directional swipes (up, down,
left or right) to more complex combinations.
Since the chip can work as a proximity sensor,
the gesture engine can be congured to
wake up automatically when a user’s hand
approaches. Power consumption can be
further optimized with adjustable IR LED
timing. Beside gesture detection, the IC can
be implemented for color sensing, ambient
light sensing and proximity applications,
potentially simplifying your design.

IR gesture click carries a APDS-9960 IC,
which a digital proximity, ambient light, RGB
and gesture sensor. The sensor integrates
an LED and four directional photodiodes
that receive the reecting light. An internal
gesture engine deduces the velocity,
direction and distance of nearby objects
(while cancelling the ambient light). The
board communicates with the target board
MCU through the mikroBUS
™
I2C interface,
with an additional hardware inerrupt pin
(INT). Gesture click uses a 3.3V power supply.
