Skywriter HAT

Use this 3D interface to sense things floating in the air over it. Detect swipes and the motion of your hand with X, Y and Z positions.

Skywriter HAT uses electrical near-field 3D sensing to generate positional data and detect common gestures like flicks and taps.

Use it to control your presentations like a Jedi, make a theremin to amaze and annoy all, or make a lock controlled by a magic spell!

Please Note:

• Because the sensing distance is up to 5cm you can mount Skywriter HAT behind a sheet of non-conductive material (like acrylic or fabric) and completely hide it inside your project!
• Comes fully assembled

• Electrical near-field 3D/gesture sensing
• 4-layer PCB for best sensing performance
• Range of up to 5cm
• Full 3D position data and gesture information (flicks, taps)
• Uses the Microchip MGC3130 sensor
• Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W

• Skywriter HAT Python library
