Troubleshooting:
----------------
With some APDS9960 modules the VL pin needs to be supplied with 3.3V for gesture sensing to work. The VL pin provides power for the infrared LED that is used to detect gestures. There may be two pads on the module which, if shorted with a solder joint, cause the main VCC power pin to supply power for the infrared LED as well. However, providing a separate power supply via the VL pin may help to isolate the rest of the circuit from noise created by pulsing the infrared LED at relatively high power.
