Arduino
The code that uses the LCD i²c, just to show you can adapt it to pretty much everything
/* This code works with PAJ7620 Hand gestures sensor and LCD ic screen
 * It shows the gestures detected on the LCD screen
 * Adapted from the Seeed PAJ7620 library examples
 * For more details check www.surtrtech.com
