Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this gesture sensor?

The sensor operates on a wide DC voltage range from 3.3V to 5V. This makes it directly compatible with most microcontroller development boards like Arduino Uno, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi without requiring a level shifter.

How do I communicate with the sensor and what is its I2C address?

The module uses a standard I2C communication protocol. Its default I2C address is 0x42. You can connect the SDA and SCL pins directly to your microcontroller's corresponding I2C pins for simple integration and programming.

What is the effective range for detecting gestures?

The sensor has a dedicated gesture detection range of up to 5 centimeters. It also features a general proximity or induction sensing capability that can detect the presence of an object (like a hand) at distances up to 10 cm from the sensor's surface.
