Color & Gesture Module
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.
Details
Specifications
Voltage: 3V-5V
Dimensions: 56mm X 24mm X 16mm
Connector: 4Pin PH2.0
Color Mode Return Value: 0-360, corresponding to hue

Precautions
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.
