DFRobot_Gesture_Touch

• 中文版

This sensor module integrates gesture and touch recognition functions in one piece, and provides an adjustable detection range within 0-30cm. When connected to your micro-controller, it can detect 5-way touch signal and 7 kinds of gestures: move right, move left, move backward, move forward, pull down, pull up, pull and remove. Besides, the sensor is also equipped with the function of auto-sleep and wake-up.

The module comes with the gesture recognition algorithm and provides simple and reliable data output. Use the sensor to directly communicate with upper computer or micro-controllers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi via serial port. This sensor can be used to make a smart lamp, DIY intelligent car, and used in interactive projects or fun games requiring gesture recognition. The onboard 5-way touch pad on the sensor can be directly used to detect touch, or you can extend the touch pad with wires to make it perfectly fit your application.
