Resources and Going Further

After trying the basic ZX and gesture demos, you can try the other examples in the Arduino library. A description of each of the examples is given below:

  • I2C_Gesture_Demo -- Poll the sensor over I2C to see if any gestures have occurred.
  • I2C_Gesture_Interrupt -- The DR pin will go from low to high when a gesture is detected. This example reads the gesture over I2C and tells the sensor to clear DR.
  • I2C_ZX_Demo -- Poll the sensor periodically over I2C for Z- and X- axis data.
  • I2C_ZX_Interrupt -- The ZX Sensor will throw DR high whenever valid ZX data is ready.
  • UART_Gesture_Demo -- NOTE: Gestures over UART are not supported at this time. This demo is a placeholder for the time being.
  • UART_ZX_Demo -- Read Z- and X- axis data from a software serial port and display them on the Serial Monitor.

Here are some additional resources to help you with the ZX Sensor:
