Opla proximity and gesture sensor isn't working when carrier case is used

Official Hardware MKR Family MKR Shields

Hello -

I'm getting acquainted with my new Opla IoT Kit, and I've noticed that the proximity and gesture sensor doesn't seem to work when the board is inside the Carrier.

I'm running the "Full Example" from Examples > Arduino_MKRIoTCarrier > Sensors > Light-ABDS9960. With the board inside the Carrier I get proximity of 0 and no gestures detected. With the board outside the Carrier I get what looks to be good values for proximity and gesture detection. In both scenarios I see RGB values change.

Is this just a limitation of that sensor within the Carrier case? (Note: I've tried setting the CARRIER_CASE variable to true with no effect)

Thank you,

  • Chris

Hi,
I ran the example code on my arduino and it seems to be working just fine without the case but it doesn't work with the case I think it is not meant to be used with the case, because the CARRIER_CASE variable was set to false in the original code.
