Adafruit APDS9960 Shield
Overview
The Adafruit APDS9960 Proximity, Light, RGB, and Gesture Sensor Shield features a Broadcom APDS9960 sensor and two STEMMA QT connectors.
Requirements
This shield can be used with boards which provide an I2C connector, for
example STEMMA QT or Qwiic connectors.
The target board must define a zephyr_i2c node label.
See Shields for more details.

In order to use interrupts you need to connect a separate wire from the
shield to a GPIO pin on your microcontroller board. See
avago,apds9960 for documentation on how to adjust the
devicetree file.
Programming
Set --shield adafruit_apds9960 when you invoke west build. For example
when running the APDS9960 RGB, ambient light, and gesture sensor proximity and light sample:
# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b adafruit_qt_py_rp2040 --shield adafruit_apds9960 samples/sensor/apds9960
