The gesture controller applications

The controller application has several different activities that it needs to perform, such as the following:

1. Initialize the gesture class.
2. Initialize the LED pins.
3. Call the gesture class.
4. If a gesture is detected, notify the user through the terminal and by setting an LED as high for 5 seconds.

Let's look at these steps in detail:

1. The first step in the application is to initialize the I2C bus that will be used to communicate with the APDS-9960. In this project, we are using I2C(1) and the code to initialize it is as follows:

# Create a uart object, uart4, and setup the serial parametersi2c = I2C(1) # create on bus 1i2c = I2C(1, I2C.MASTER)             # create and init as a masteri2c.init(I2C.MASTER, baudrate=400000) ...
