APDS-9960 problems

[vibrog]

Are the Sparkfun board (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12787) and GY-9960LLC compatible?
The GY-9960LLC does not have a separate power input for the IR LED.
Another variant called GY-9960-3.3 have six connectors as the Sparkfun board.

I'm having a problem with using a GY-9960 with ESPEasy rel.12 dev which has support for the APDS-9960. (It does list it with the I2C scan, though.) I've also tested the GY-9960 using the Sparkfun APDS-9960 library directly using both an Arduino and an ESP8266, with a port of the library and the provided examples.

And what kind of problem do you have now? I have that sensor in use with the orig. PCB. VL is not necessary to connect. But there are some bugs in the library (see comment in there).

The problem is that there are no readings from the sensor.
Does ESPEasy have a I2C data line monitor in the UI?

You can set the web log level to 3 under "Tools --> Advanced", then you find entries like " APDS : Gesture=DOWN (4)" in the log.
