This breakout is chock full o' sensors! Add basic gesture sensing, RGB color sensing, proximity sensing, or ambient light sensing to your project with the Adafruit APDS9960 Proximity, Light, RGB, and Gesture Sensor.
Main power input. Adafruit Learn says to power it with the same logic level as the microcontroller, for example 5 V on a 5 V Arduino.
3.3 V regulator output. Learn states up to 100 mA may be drawn from this output.
Common ground for power and logic.
I2C clock line. Learn states it has a 10K pullup and is level shifted for 3-5 VDC use.
I2C data line. Learn states it has a 10K pullup and is level shifted for 3-5 VDC use.
Interrupt output. Learn states it is 3 V logic and can indicate a new reading or threshold event.
STEMMA QT connector for I2C connection to STEMMA QT boards or accessories.
