[FEATURE] Add support for APDS9960 clones #46

Open nicknugget opened 12 months ago

nicknugget commented 12 months ago

Add support for more than one chip id and improve chip detection to initialize clones properly.

Adafruit_APDS9960.h: Use defines to define more than one chip id and make handling of these easier.

Adafruit_APDS9960.cpp: Improve chip detection part in Adafruit_APDS9960::begin() to handle more than one chip id and allow clones with different id than the genuine chip to be used without a failing initialization.

Should work with every platform and shouldn't break any existing code as the changes are minor ones.

Tested with a Chinese clone of the APDS9960 without problems.

hiya, pardon the delay...given the APDS9960 is discontinued, what are the 'compatible' parts?

Hi!

Even the APDS9960 ist discontinued, one could still buy these from sites like aliexpress. That's where I got mine. Looks like they made clones that use a different ID. So not really an official part, but still available and usable.
