I am using arduino UNO with APDS9960 gesture sensor.Gesture application is not working with this sensor. I have used level translator circuit to work the sensor with 3.3V. Eventhough sensor is not working with gesture test program. Whereas it is working in Ambient light sensor code and color_test code.
Then what is the problem with Gesture sensor test code. Any configuration or different setup is needed to work with gesture?. Any configuration should be done with header files?
Please post your code and schematics and a link to the sensor used.
Otherwise it is very difficult to help.
My code is below.

APDS-9960 RGB and Gesture Sensor

Tests the gesture sensing abilities of the APDS-9960. Configures
APDS-9960 over I2C and waits for gesture events. Calculates the
direction of the swipe (up, down, left, right) and displays it
on a serial console.
To perform a NEAR gesture, hold your hand
far above the sensor and move it close to the sensor (within 2
inches). Hold your hand there for at least 1 second and move it
away.
To perform a FAR gesture, hold your hand within 2 inches of the
sensor for at least 1 second and then move it above (out of
range) of the sensor.
Hardware Connections:
IMPORTANT: The APDS-9960 can only accept 3.3V!
Arduino Pin APDS-9960 Board Function
3.3V VCC Power
GND GND Ground
A4 SDA I2C Data
A5 SCL I2C Clock
2 INT Interrupt
Resources:
Include Wire.h and SparkFun_APDS-9960.h
Development environment specifics:
Written in Arduino 1.0.5
Tested with SparkFun Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V
