SparkFun ZX Distance & Gesture Sensor
SparkFun ZX Distance and Gesture Sensor is a touchless sensor capable of identifying simple gestures. The sensor is developed in conjunction with XYZ Interactive and uses GestureSense® technology. Distance is recognized from up to 12" (30cm, "Z" axis). The location of the object from side to side across the sensor is recognized from about a 6" (15cm) span, referred to as the "X" axis. Use the I2C or UART to communicate via a microcontroller or computer with the ZX Sensor.
The ZX Sensor works by bouncing infrared (IR) beams of light from the two LEDs on either side of an object above the sensor. The reflected light returns to the receiver in the center of the sensor, and a microcontroller on the back of the sensor interprets the data. Quickly ascertain an object's Z and X axis (hence the name). All the pinouts on the board are clearly labeled, signifying if I2C or UART communication is required.
