STEMMA SUNDAY – The APDS9500 @adafruit @sparkfun @seeedstudio @dfrobotcn #qwiic #grove #gravity #stemma #stemmaQT
The APDS9500 is a nifty sensor that is half camera and half gesture sensor. It looks really specialized, but we’re not sure exactly what it was designed for! We’re curious to try this one out and see what kind of data comes out of it.
Adafruit STEMMA & STEMMA QT Plug & play connectivity –
WHAT IS STEMMA? STEMMA is not an original idea, we’re working within an ecosystem of many other plug and play systems. We started STEMMA in 2014, and intended to be compatible with Grove only (cause that’s all that existed at the time) but then when Qwiic came around in 2017, added a smaller connector so we could work with those parts too!
STEMMA attempts to be as cross-compatible as possible with both Grove and Gravity (compatible connectors & 3-5V power/logic). STEMMA QT is cross-compatible with Qwiic - STEMMA QT connector/cable is same as Qwiic. You can use STEMMA QT devices with Qwiic devices/controllers.
