APDS9960 Sensor

Specify the I2C module on the Arduino hardware to communicate with sensor peripherals. For more information on the Arduino pin mapping and modules that hardware boards support, see Pin Mapping for Arduino Timer Independent Blocks.

Select the operating mode of the sensor.

Select the data acquisition mode.

Select the parameter to enable the Status output port.

Enter the time interval in seconds at which the block reads values from the APDS9960 IMU sensor.

Generate an interrupt when the proximity value exceeds above or falls below the high and low interrupt threshold levels, respectively.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Assert proximity interrupts only if consecutive proximity values are outside the range specified in the Interrupt thresholds [low, high] parameter. This prevents the block from generating false interrupts. Use this parameter to specify after how many consecutive proximity values outside the interrupt threshold should the block generate a proximity interrupt. For example, when you set this parameter to 2, the block generates an interrupt when two consecutive proximity values are outside the range you set in the Interrupt thresholds [low, high] parameter.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Set the threshold values to determine the start and end points of a gesture.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Generate a gesture interrupt after the value selected in this parameter is equal to the number of data set available in the FIFO. For example, if you set this parameter is set to 4 datasets, the block generates a gesture interrupt after four data sets are available in the FIFO.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Assert gesture interrupts only if consecutive gesture values are outside the range specified in the Enter and exit thresholds [enter, exit] parameter. This prevents the block from generating false interrupts. Use this parameter to specify after how many consecutive gesture values outside the interrupt threshold should the block generate a gesture interrupt. For example, when you select 4th gesture end, the block generates an interrupt after four consecutive gesture values are outside the range you set in the Enter and exit thresholds [enter, exit] parameter.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Generate an interrupt when the ambient light and color intensity data exceeds or falls below the high and low interrupt threshold levels, respectively.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Assert ambient light and color interrupts to the sensor only if the consecutive out of Interrupt thresholds [low, high] values is equal to or greater than the value set in this parameter. This prevents the block from generating false interrupts. For example, when you set this parameter to 2, the block generates an interrupt when two consecutive ambient light and color values are outside the range you set in the Interrupt thresholds [low, high] parameter.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Select the source of interrupt for the sensor.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set Sensor mode to Proximity, Ambient light and Color, and Data acquisition mode to Interrupt.

Select gain for the proximity data value.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Select the ON time of each pulse in the IR LED emitted pulse train.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Specify the number of pulses that the light-dependent resistor (LDR) should generate. The number of pulses that the LDR generates is the pulse count value plus one. For example, if you set the pulse count value to 8, the LDR generates nine pulses.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Set a scalable internal offset correction factor for the up-right and down-left photodiode pairs.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Select current levels for the LED IR emission to control the intensity levels.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Specify additional current boost levels for the LED IR emission to detect long-range devices.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Set a scalable internal offset correction factor for the up, down, left, and right photodiodes.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Select current levels for the LED IR emission to control the intensity levels.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Select gain for the gesture data value.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Select the ON time of each pulse in the IR LED emitted pulse train.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter,

Specify the number of pulses that the light-dependent resister (LDR) should generate. The number of pulses that the LDR generates is the pulse count value plus one. For example, if you set the pulse count value 10, the LDR generates 11 pulses.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Delay pulse train repetition by selecting a gesture waiting time. This parameter controls the amount of time the sensor spends in a low-power mode between the gesture detection cycles. Include a wait time to reduce power consumption by the sensor and to make data acquisition more efficient.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Select gain for the ambient light and color data value.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Use this parameter to specify the time for data from the color and ambient light photodiodes to accumulate.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Activate wait feature before the sensor begins reading ambient light and color.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter:

Enter the wait time before the sensor begins reading ambient light and color.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, select Enable wait before Ambient light sensing.

Enable the parameter to increase the wait time set in the Wait time (ms) parameter by a factor of 12x.

Dependencies
