Read the gesture detected from the sensor. You can check if a gesture has been detected using the APDS.gestureAvailable()
function.
APDS.readGesture()
None.
The detected gesture. Can be one of the following values:
/*
APDS-9960 - Gesture Sensor
This example reads gesture data from the on-board APDS-9960 sensor of the
Nano 33 BLE Sense board and prints any detected gestures to the Serial Monitor.
Gesture directions are as follows:
- UP: from USB connector towards antenna.
- DOWN: from antenna towards USB connector.
- LEFT: from analog pins side towards digital pins side.
- RIGHT: from digital pins side towards analog pins side.
The circuit:
- Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense.
This example code is in the public domain.
