## Pricing

- **Price:** $21.70 (inc GST) — $19.73 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 6+ $18.75 (exc GST) · 12+ $17.95 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SEN0285:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SEN0285:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

###  Introduction 

 This [sensor](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-36.html) [module](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-156.html) integrates gesture recognition and touch detects functions in one piece, and provides an adjustable detection range within 0~30cm. When connected to your [microcontroller](https://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=microcontroller), it can detect 5-way touch signal and 7 kinds of gestures: move left, move right, move forward, move backward, pull up, pull down, pull and remove. Besides, the sensor is also equipped with the function of auto-sleep and wake up. The [module ](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-156.html)comes with the gesture recognition algorithm and provides simple and reliable data output. Use the sensor to directly communicate with upper computer or micro-controllers like [Arduino](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-35.html) and [Raspberry Pi](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-153.html) via serial port. 
 The onboard 5-way touch pad on the [sensor](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-36.html) can be directly used to detect touch, or you can extend the touch pad with wires to make it perfectly fit in your application. The outer shield for the sensor retains the advantages of [Gravity](https://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=Gravity) series as well as makes the sensor more durable. This sensor can be used to make smart lamp, DIY intelligent car, or used in interactive projects requiring gesture recognition.**Internal Structure**
