Grove - Gesture Sensor v1.0 Python library and examples

####This library is for using the Grove - Gesture Sensor v1.0(http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/Grove-Gesture-p-2463.html)

Code derived from the basic Arduino library for the Gesture Sensor by Seeed: https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Gesture_PAJ7620

#####Files:

• grove_gesture_sensor.py: library with functions to read data from the gesture sensors
• gesture_print.py: This example prints the gesture on the screen when a user does an action over the sensor. Useful when testing the gesture sensor
• gesture_value.py: This example returns a value when a user does an action over the sensor. Useful when integrating in your own examples

#####NOTE:

• This is an I2C sensor so you can connect it to any I2C port on the GrovePi
• The gesture sensor might restart your GrovePi if you hot-plug the sensor when the GrovePi is already powered on. Please connect the sensor before powering on the GrovePi
• The sensor polls the sensor ~.1s and after reading takes ~.4s to 1s to start polling again
• The datasheet for the sensor mentions the sensing distance b/w 5 and 15 cm
• The sensor uses IR so it would be better to keep it away from IR sources of light

######The GrovePi connects the Raspberry Pi and Grove sensors. You can learn more about GrovePi here: http://www.dexterindustries.com/GrovePi
