## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SS101991067:1` (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/SS101991067:1.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

Grove Smart IR Gesture Sensor is an intelligent gesture recognition module equipped with an infrared camera sensor and applied AI algorithm. It can detect over 15 gestures with wide detection while supporting both IIC and SPI communication. This module also allows Grove, Type-C, and Seeed Studio XIAO direct connecting.

**Features**

- **Compact AI gesture sensor:** Equip with an infrared camera sensor and apply AI algorithm to achieve gesture detection, in a compact size board of 4.3cm x 2.1cm
- **Over** **15 gestures with** **wide detection:** Support various gestures such as N-finger push, pinch, tap, grab, rotation, thumb up/down, static, etc, with a detection range of 5-40cm
- **High compatibility**: Compatible with the XIAO series interface and the Grove connector through I2C communication while supporting images displayed on PC through SPI communication
- **Flexible Voltage Selection:** Grove Interface Compatible with 3.3V and 5V Systems

Grove Smart IR Gesture Sensor is an intelligent gesture recognition module equipped with a PAG7646J1 infrared camera module, a PAG7661QN (ISP), and an LED fill light. It recognizes and interprets hand gestures through image recognition of the picture taken by the infrared camera, enabling clear gesture recognition even in dark environments.

The sensor supports various multi-finger gestures such as N-finger push, pinch, tap, grab, rotation, thumb up, thumb down, static gesture (1 to 5 fingers), and swipe. It can detect over 15 different types of hand gestures, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. With a detection range of 5-40cm, it provides accurate and reliable gesture recognition.

The High Compatibility of the sensor makes it easy to integrate into your projects. It is compatible with the XIAO series interface and supports the Arduino ecosystem by the Grove connector through the I2C connector. Gesture result data can be obtained by connecting to an MCU via the SPI pinhole, or Images can be displayed on a PC host through the Type-C interface. This flexibility makes it easy to use with a variety of systems and platforms.

Note

- On the back left side is an SPI/IIC switch used by the user to toggle between SPI and IIC usage.

Note

- Placing the gesture in this direction above the camera will make the final result more accurate. For the sensor, if you see the figure standing upright, then you have placed it in the correct position.
