Documented Code
No code has been provided for the microcontroller. Typically, the code would initialize the I2C communication, configure the sensor, and implement the logic for reading the sensor data and responding to it. Since no code is available, it is recommended to develop firmware that includes the following:
- I2C initialization and configuration.
- Functions to read and write to the APDS-9930 registers.
- Interrupt handling if the INT pin is to be used in the future.
- Logic to process the proximity and ambient light data.
- Communication routines to send sensor data to other devices or services if needed.
Once the code is developed, it should be documented here with explanations for each function and routine, including setup and loop structures, interrupt service routines, and any libraries used for the ESP32 Wroom and APDS-9930 sensor.
