Dear all

I am trying to build hand detection system using vcnl4020 (proximity detection IC)

Is it OK to give IC output to any microcontroller and program it to detect hand thru LED blink?

Which controller is suitable? is it PIC good or not?

Any suggestion will be helpful as doing it first time

Thank you for your time
 

The application information in the datasheet has your answers. There is an interrupt pin and an IIC (I^2C) protocol for communication so you need a controller or interface to support the IIC protocol. There are a bunch of tutorials and most controllers will have in the datasheet how to initialize the connection. The sensor datasheet will tell you it's address for communication.
 
Thanks for the reply
