Library for the APDS9500 Gesture Sensor
Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
* `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_
* `Register <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Register>`_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_.
Installing from PyPI
=====================
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-apds9500/>`_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-apds9500
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-apds9500
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-apds9500
Usage Example
=============
.. code-block:: python3
import time
import board
import busio
import adafruit_apds9500
from adafruit_apds9500 import Gesture
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
apds = adafruit_apds9500.APDS9500(i2c)
while True:
gesture_reading = apds.gestures
if len(gesture_reading) == 0:
continue
for gesture in gesture_reading:
print("\t", Gesture.string[gesture], "Gesture Detected")
print("")
time.sleep(.1)
