SparkFun_APDS9960

Do you have an example main program that shows how to use your library: SparkFun_APDS9960? If so, I could use the help.

Question relating to:

Last updated: 10 Apr 2015
A library for the combined proximity, ambient light, RGB color and gesture sensor Avago APDS9960. Tested with corresponding breakout board from SparkFun. APDS9960, avago, color, Gesture, I2C, proximity, sparkfun

Hi Marc,

yes, i have a small Test-Program for the library. I did it for the LPC11U68 board and it uses my adapted SparkFun-MicroOLED library for display of the gestures on a 64 x 48 pixel OLED screen, but you can easily change the Test-Program for a different mbed-platform and use serial for gesture detection output.

You can also have a look at this youtube-video from sparkfun, that explains the 6 gestures implemented in the library:

If you like to have examples for use of the RGB, ambient light and proximity sensing, you can look at these Arduino code examples from SparkFun. The programs should be fairly easy to adapt for mbed, as most or all of the hardware specific stuff is in the library.
