The APDS9960 is a specialize chip that detects hand gestures, proximity detection
and ambient light color over I2C. Its available on
`Adafruit as a breakout <https://www.adafruit.com/product/3595>`_.
Installation and Dependencies
=============================
This driver depends on:
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.
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-apds9960/>`_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-apds9960
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-apds9960
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-apds9960
Usage Example
=============
.. code-block:: python
import board
import busio
import digitalio
from adafruit_apds9960.apds9960 import APDS9960
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
int_pin = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D5)
apds = APDS9960(i2c, interrupt_pin=int_pin)
apds.enable_proximity = True
apds.proximity_interrupt_threshold = (0, 175)
apds.enable_proximity_interrupt = True
while True:
print(apds.proximity)
apds.clear_interrupt()
Hardware Set-up
---------------
Connect Vin to 3.3 V or 5 V power source, GND to ground, SCL and SDA to the appropriate pins.
Basics
------
Of course, you must import i2c bus device, board pins, and the library:
.. code:: python
from board import SCL, SDA, A1
from adafruit_apds9960.apds9960 import APDS9960
import busio
import digitalio
To set-up the device to gather data, initialize the I2CDevice using SCL
and SDA pins. Then initialize the library. Optionally provide an interrupt
pin for proximity detection.
.. code:: python
int_pin = digitalio.DigitalInOut(A1)
i2c = busio.I2C(SCL, SDA)
apds = APDS9960(i2c, interrupt_pin=int_pin)
Gestures
--------
To get a gesture, see if a gesture is available first, then get the gesture Code
.. code:: python
gesture = apds.gesture()
if gesture == 1:
print("up")
if gesture == 2:
print("down")
if gesture == 3:
print("left")
if gesture == 4:
print("right")
Color Measurement
-----------------
To get a color measure, enable color measures, wait for color data,
then get the color data.
.. code:: python
apds.enable_color = True
while not apds.color_data_ready:
time.sleep(0.005)
r, g, b, c = apds.color_data
print("r: {}, g: {}, b: {}, c: {}".format(r, g, b, c))
Proximity Detection
---------------------
To check for a object in proximity, see if a gesture is available first, then get the gesture Code
.. code:: python
apds.enable_proximity = True
# set the interrupt threshold to fire when proximity reading goes above 175
apds.proximity_interrupt_threshold = (0, 175)
# enable the proximity interrupt
apds.enable_proximity_interrupt = True
while True:
if not interrupt_pin.value:
print(apds.proximity)
# clear the interrupt
apds.clear_interrupt()
Contributing
============
Contributions are welcome! Please read our `Code of Conduct
<https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_APDS9960/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md>`_
before contributing to help this project stay welcoming.
Building locally
================
To build this library locally you'll need to install the
`circuitpython-travis-build-tools <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython-build-tools>`_ package.
.. code-block::shell
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Once installed, make sure you are in the virtual environment:
.. code-block::shell
source .env/bin/activate
Then run the build:
.. code-block::shell
circuitpython-build-bundles --filename_prefix adafruit-circuitpython-apds --library_location .
Sphinx documentation
-----------------------
Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First,
install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):
.. code-block:: shell
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme
Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:
.. code-block:: shell
cd docs
sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html
This will output the documentation to ``docs/_build/html``. Open the index.html in your browser to
view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to
locally verify it will pass.
