SparkFun ZX Distance & Gesture Sensor Board
Compact IR-based sensor detects gestures & distance (30cm Z-axis, 15cm X-axis). Works with I2C/UART at 3.3V-5V.
The SparkFun ZX Distance and Gesture Sensor Board is a compact touchless sensor that detects simple gestures using GestureSense® technology. This innovative system utilises two infrared LEDs and a central sensor to detect objects and interpret gestures through reflected IR beams. Perfect for touch-free control applications, this sensor board brings advanced gesture recognition to your projects.
Key Features
- Gesture Recognition – Detects four distinct gesture commands with high precision.
- Dual-Axis Detection – Measures distance along the Z-axis (up to 30cm) and side-to-side movement via the X-axis (up to 15cm).
- Multiprotocol Communication – Supports both I2C and UART interface options via clearly labelled pinouts for easy integration.
- Wide Voltage Range – Operates efficiently on 3.3V to 5V, making it compatible with a variety of microcontroller platforms.
This sensor is ideal for interactive projects, robotics, and automation where touchless input or proximity sensing is required. Whether for gaming, security, or hands-free control systems, the SparkFun ZX sensor delivers reliable performance in a compact, easy-to-use package.
