why do you need to duplicate this?

Actually, the idea of this to make the flag constants also available through the class since. but it’s not a big deal, I can remove it

You probably want to add NONE to the original set then.

this doesn't seem to be used anywhere?

This part actually I use other block, but I forgot to remove it when cleaning up the code. sorry

can you leave the original method name for backward compatibility?

Can I put it like this? it will become backward compatibility but yeah, it is a bit repetitive
def read(self):
return self.gesture()
but if that’s not okay, no worries I can revert back to the original

I don't have a big problem with this, but I'm also fine with leaving it as read and not having gesture at all. I understand the desire for clarity, but this is primarily a gesture sensor after all, so I don't think we need the rename.

This could also be done more compactly as
read = gesture

This pull request looks like it was generated using automatic code generation tools without much checking afterwards. Please don't do that. Next time just send the prompt. |

I’m very sorry about all of that. Actually, my team is working on a guidebook for our Pico 2 expansion board, and the PAJ7620 is one of the IC that we use. Since your library is already included in the CircuitPython community bundle libraries, it would be great if our users can get the libraries needed for the guide in the CircuitPython community bundle. I'll revise the code as per your comment and check everything thoroughly first before request for PR. |

Hello! 👋
I am using the PAJ7620 sensor in my project, and I need both gesture and proximity features. The current library only has gesture, so I decided to make some changes and add proximity support.
Changes:
Gesture constants (UP, DOWN, etc.) are now class attributes for easier access:
Added NONE = 0x00 constant for no gesture detected
Renamed driver class from PAJ7620Gesture ➜ PAJ7620 since the sensor handles both gesture + proximity sensing. I also rename the function to read the gesture data from read( ) to gesture( )
Added _write_u8() helper for possible future register writes
I already tested the library, and it works fine. This update still works with your example code but in line 15 need to change from gesture = sensor.read() to gesture = sensor.gesture()
Let me know if anything needs adjustment — happy to update!
