GY-9960-3.3 APDS-9960 RGB & Gesture Sensor Module - I2C Interface
The GY-9960-3.3 module integrates the APDS-9960 sensor for ambient light/color sensing, proximity detection, and touchless gesture recognition. Operating at 3.3V DC with an I2C interface, it is directly compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other 3.3V logic microcontrollers.
Features
- APDS-9960 sensor with integrated UV/IR blocking filters for accurate RGB and ambient light sensing.
- Touchless gesture detection (up/down/left/right) with a range of 10-20 cm (4-8 inches).
- Proximity sensing function for object detection without physical contact.
- I2C digital interface for easy integration with 3.3V microcontrollers and SBCs.
- Compact breakout board design (20 x 15.3 mm) with accessible interrupt (INT) and IR LED power (VL) pins.

The GY-9960-3.3 module is a breakout board for the Avago APDS-9960 digital sensor, which combines a color sensing engine (RGB, Clear, IR), a proximity detector, and a dedicated gesture unit in a single package. The sensor uses an array of directional photodiodes to detect simple swipe gestures by interpreting the reflected IR signal pattern, making it ideal for touchless control interfaces.
Operating from a 3.3V supply, the module communicates via a standard I2C bus, providing digital readings for light intensity, color components (Red, Green, Blue, Clear), and proximity distance. The integrated interrupt pin can be configured to signal gesture events or threshold crossings, reducing host microcontroller polling overhead. Its compact footprint and direct pin compatibility make it suitable for embedded projects requiring non-contact user input or environmental light monitoring.
