Hi,

Anyone know how to config VL53L1x to gesture recognition?

In datasheet is information about support 1D

gesture recognition, but nowere I cannot find information how to config it to gesture recognition and how to use it.

I check your API for this sensor, but there no code for gesture recognition.

Anyone know how to do that?

Best regards

There is no 'gesture recognition' mode by itself. The concept relies on simply ranging and looking for a changing distance result. It's up to the use to interpret the distance measurements and decide what the gesture is.

One way is to range with a threshold. Your CPU can be asleep. When a hand comes close, the sensor will wake your processor and you can start looking at the data. Interpret the gesture based on what the distance and signal strength data is telling you.
