This kit lets you build exactly that — a gesture-sensing system that detects left, right, up and down swipes and instantly changes which LED lights up. It feels like magic, but it’s real electronics you can build with your own hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll assemble a breadboard circuit where four assorted LEDs (red, green, blue, yellow) respond to hand movements above the APDS9960 sensor. Swipe left and the red LED glows; swipe up and the blue one activates.
