Re: Plugin 64, APDS 9960, which "Collection"?
The updated documentation is very helpful, thanks. I am actually getting 0s as gesture info (from event "<device name>#Swipe"). Edit: It looks like I get a '0' where I should be getting a '5' ("Near (towards the sensor)"). Edit: I also get a '0' for unclear gestures. Perhaps my s...

There are Collections A through G and the respective compiled binaries. The plugin I am interested in, P 64, Gesture APDS9960, only shows as status "Collection" without any letter. Does this mean it isn't included in any binary and I need to compile it myself?

I have a breakout board which includes a BME280 and a TSL2561 sensor. An I2C scan shows both sensors and their respective addresses (0x77 and 0x29). The BMEx280 plugin works as expected, the TSL2561 plugin shows no values. How can I trouble shoot this further?

Windows complained that the port number was in use but that was definitely not the case.
