This is a fork of the library from Sparkfun for the APDS-9960 sensor. It has been adapted to read values from this other model.

Quick-start guide available here

Purchase an Avago APDS-9930 Breakout Board here

Note: even though it says APDS-9960, it's an APDS-9930. That's how I ended up getting one of those. I wanted the RGB sensor. I found this crap in my mailbox. But I decided to write a library for it anyways ;)

• Download the Git repository as a ZIP ("Download ZIP" button)
• Unzip
• Copy the entire library directory (APDS-9930) to <Arduino installation directory>/libraries
• Open the Arduino program
• Select File -> Examples -> APDS9930 -> GestureTest
• Plug in your Arduino and APDS-9930 with the following connections

-OR-

• Use the library manager

P.S.: you already know you can't use this purple little thing with your 5V Arduino without a level shifter, right? :) In case you don't have a level shifter, you can detach the microcontroller from an Arduino Uno, reconnect the oscillator pins, the RX and TX pins, the reset and the LED/SCK pins back to the board with some jumper wires. You can then power the microcontroller from a 3.3V source (the 3V3 output on the board should work) and connect the sensor directly to the MCU. Look up "Arduino on Breadboard".

• Go to Tools -> Board and select your Arduino board
• Go to Tools -> Serial Port and select the COM port of your Arduino board
• Click "Upload"
• Go to Tools -> Serial Monitor
• Ensure the baud rate is set at 9600 baud
• Swipe your hand over the sensor in various directions!

• /examples - Example sketches for the library (.ino). Run these from the Arduino IDE.
• /extras - Additional documentation for the user. These files are ignored by the IDE.
• /src - Source files for the library (.cpp, .h).
• keywords.txt - Keywords from this library that will be highlighted in the Arduino IDE.
• library.properties - General library properties for the Arduino package manager.

If you find me at the local, buy me peach-flavoured vodka + mango juice - I don't drink beer :D
