Gesture control with APDS-9960
-
Well, It doesn’t work through the glass. But it works!
and it’s somewhat sensitive to get the motions right, maybe that is a software issue and not hardware, BUT it does read side to side and up down. Which is good and opens up to navigate modules easier.
But it bugs me that I have to build a box for it outside the mirror.

Okey guys, I’d really need some guidance. My head goes round in circles and I don’t know where to start.
As mentioned before I’ve gotten the sensor to work with the help of wiringPi and a c library converted for the pi.
Then I Found this : https://github.com/jiahuang/apds-gesture
a control driver for node, but that is using a Tessel and I can’t really understand how to replace the tessel line with Raspberry.I’m guessing I need an i2c module to let the apds-gesture connect to the raspberrys pins?
-
@broberg did you find any suitable solution or stopped your project?
-
@bibi It’s on hold, the big drawback is that I haven’t included space for any sensor in the frame, so any addon would “stick out” and look wonky.
So maybe I’ll just add some physical buttons and make a tree style menu instead. -
@broberg yea haven’t neither think about room for it while building my one… :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

I’m not sure whether it is compatible with APDS-9960, but I made a module for GroveGesture Sensor(PAJ7620u2 compatible)

@sean said in Gesture control with APDS-9960:
PAJ7620u2
no idea as well… waiting on my sensor APDS… once received, i’ll test with your module :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

Hi,
I’ve the PAJ7620u2 one.
I’m experiencing some stability issue with it (it always stops working after some minutes) but overall it’s great. I will post about the stability issue later on.I’m interested into how you guys are using the sensor in a "beautiful way).
Before buying it, I thought I could cover it with some “speaker fabric” but it’s not working neither…Do you have some smart ideas on your side on how to hide it?
Regards

@bolish i thought about it meantimes i am waiting for delivery… i was thinking to make a kind of slot in one of the wooden frame side, just enough to make so that the wood layer is so thin that i hope it will let pass the gesture but it will be difficult to do as my mirror is already build now and i can’s say for now if it will work. if you come up with another idea… feel free to share :)
