What is Arduino®
Arduino® is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino ® boards are able to read inputs – light-on sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so, you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino® software IDE (based on Processing). Additional shields/modules/components are required for reading a Twitter message or publishing online. Surf to www.arduino.cc for more information
Product overview
This sensor is able to detect 9 distinct gestures like up, down, forward, backward, rotating, … to use as an input for your project. Check out all gesture possibilities in the features below. The module interfaces to your development board (e.g. Arduino® compatible board) using I²C and is able to detect and report various gestures including moving up, down, left, right, forward, backward, rotating clockwise, and anti-clockwise, and waving.
The module has a normal and game mode that can read your gestures at a different speed. The detection distance is 10 cm and the ambient light immunity is <100k lux. This module has a 12C interface that is easy to interface with microcontroller boards.
Specifications:
Supply voltage: 5 V DC
Working current: 50 mA
Max. power: 0.5 W
Detection distance: 10 cm max.
Gesture speed: 60 °/s – 600 °/s (in normal mode), 60 °/s – 1200 °/s (in game
mode)
Ambient light immunity: < 100k lux
I²C communication speed: max. 400 kbit/s
Working temperature range: -25 – +65 °C
Interface connector: standard 5-pin pin header
Dimensions (W x L x H): 35,5 x 20,1 x 7 mm

Example program
-
Use the Arduino Library manager to install the RevEng PAJ7620 library, by going to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries…, typing in paj7620 in the search bar, selecting the correct library, and click “ Install ”:
-
Open the paj7620_9_gestures example sketch from the library you installed by going to File > Examples > RevEng PAJ7629 > paj7620_9_gestures
-
Connect your Arduino compatible board, make sure the correct Board and connection port are set in the tools menu and hit Upload
-
Open the serial monitor by clicking the serial monitor button , make sure the baud rate is set at 115200 baud. Try some gestures out in front of the sensor and they should appear on the serial monitor!
