This is a multifunctional module, the main features are Color detection and Gesture detection.
This module has 4 modes:
In Color Mode, the 4 LEDs light up. It can detect color or ambient light level.
In Gesture Mode, the LEDs light up corresponding to the direction of movement.
In Proximity Mode, it can detect objects with a 3cm range. The LEDs brightness are determined by the proximity of the object.
In LED Mode, the 4 LEDs can be controlled.
Voltage: 3V-5V
Dimensions: 56mm X 24mm X 16mm
Connector: 4Pin PH2.0
Color Mode Return Value: 0-360, corresponding to hue
Gesture Mode Return Value: 0-4, corresponding to None, Up, Right, Down, Left
Proximity Mode Return Value: 0-255, with a range of approximately 3cm
Brightness Return Value: 0-255
This module must be connected to I2C port.
The module defaults to Proximity Mode if mode has not been set.
For gesture detection, practice maybe needed to get the correct distance and speed for successful detection.
For color detection, the return value is a Hue value from HSV format.
Color detection has the best effects when the object is about 1cm away.
The LEDs can only be controlled in the LED Mode.
Connect the module to the I2C Port of Armourbit using a 4Pin Cable.
Connect the module to the I2C Port of Robotbit.
