LED Controlled by 3D Gesture Sensor

DFRobot Nov 06 2017 351

Things used in this project

1.Arduino Uno & Genuino UNO
2.DFRobot Flexible 8x8 RGB LED Matrix
3.DFRobot 3D Gesture Sensor
4.Arduino IDE

Configuration

I Tried controlling the display of flexible LED matrix with 3D gesture sensor.


Display the eye on the LED matrix and move with the 3D gesture sensor.


Flexible 8x8 RGB LED Matrix

It has a 8x8 full color LED(NeoPixel) and soft by flexible board. The Arduino library for Neopixels is located in following.

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel


Please refer below for product details.

3D Gesture Sensor

Five electrodes are arranged in the up, down, left, right, and middle. Gesture is sensored by changes in electrostatic capacitance of electrodes due to hand approach.


The Arduino Library for the 3D Gesture Sensor is located in the following. 

https://github.com/DFRobot/DFRobot_Gesture


This gesture sensor detects clockwise/counterclockwise rotation and movement directions(up, down, left, right) using program example"3D Gesture Test"


Arduino Programing

Display the eyeball on the LED matrix, move the eyes right and left with the left and right sensing of the gesture sensor. open and close the eyelids by vertical sensing. The pupil faces the front in clockwise or counterclockwise sensing.
