The Proximity 6 Click Board™ is a versatile proximity detection device on a Click Board™. It can detect a foreign object distanced up to 20cm. The Click Board™ features a detection sensor IC that can trigger a threshold-based interrupt, which makes this Click Board™ capable of detecting even simple gesture movements.
The advanced onboard IC sensor features an LED driver section, a light sensor with the integrated analogue front end (AFE), a 14-bit analogue to digital converter (ADC), and a digital engine for processing and aggregation of the measurement result, which simplifies the firmware development. The ambient light cancellation includes both digital and optical filtering, resulting in increased detection reliability.
