No, but looking at the datasheet at https://cdn.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Sen ... ds9960.pdf it shouldn't be too hard -- it's a standard I2C device.

i found for python https://github.com/rm-hull/apds9960
it can be used for micropython with some refactoring?

Have you actually looked at the code there?

That should be relatively easy to adapt to machine.i2c calls.

I know it's been a while on this thread, but I adapted the code in the above link to MicroPython. It is obvious that code was never used in it's current form. It has a few syntax errors and omissions. However with the few fixes it does work.

Hey :) Are you sharing somewhere your driver code? I was just about to start writing my own...
