APDS9960.ino

/***************************************************************************
  This is a library for the APDS9960 digital proximity, ambient light, RGB, and gesture sensor

  This sketch puts the sensor in gesture mode and decodes gestures.
  To use this, first put your hand close to the sensor to enable gesture mode.
  Then move your hand about 6" from the sensor in the up -> down, down -> up, 
  left -> right, or right -> left direction.

  Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit APDS9960 breakout
  ----> http://www.adafruit.com/products/3595

  These sensors use I2C to communicate. The device's I2C address is 0x39
