Hover: gesture and touch controller ... for Espruino?

Very interesting board. The Arduino library looks quite simple but converting it to the Espruino "module/library" will probably need a professional JS programmer. Any takers?

Yes, that looks really neat. The Arduino driver looks trivial - it should just be a few lines of JavaScript. If anyone has one and needs a hand getting it going, just post up here and I'll see what I can do.

Arduino driver code is at https://github.com/jonco91/hover_arduino/blob/master/Hover/Hover.cpp if anyone's interested.

It looks as simple as:

I2C1.setup(...);
setInterval(function() {
  var data = I2C1.readFrom(0x42, 18);
  // do stuff with data
}, 100);

There is a better, smaller, gesture sensor that also reads RGB (color detection) at $15 USD vs $40 USD for the larger Hoover PCB.
