Crowtail- Gesture

Description

The sensor on Crowtail- Gesture is PAJ7620U2 that integrates gesture recognition function with general I2C interface into a single chip. It can recognize 9 basic gestures ,and these gestures information can be simply accessed via the I2C bus.

Application: You can use Gesture as an input device to control another Cowtail, or a computer, mobile phone, smart car, robot, and more with a simple swipe of your hand.

Model: CT010628G

3.Download the library code as a zip file Gesture_PAJ7620.

3.Unzip the downloaded file into your …/arduino/libraries.

4.The following simple demo will show you a very easy application:

  • When you move left to right, the red led will be turned on, the opposite gesture ,the red led will be turned off.

  • When you move front to back, the green led will be turned on, the opposite gesture , the green led will be turned off.

  • When you move top to bottom, the yellow led will be turned on, the opposite gesture , the green led will be turned off.
