Pixy2 CMUcam5 - Vision Sensor

Product description

Pixy2 is the second version of Pixy. It's faster, smaller and more capable than the original Pixy, adding line tracking/following algorithms as well as other features. Here's what we've added to Pixy2:

• Pixy2 detects lines, intersections and small barcodes, intended for line-following robots
• Improved framerate – 60 frames-per-second
• Tracking algorithms have been added to color-based object detection
• Improved and simplified libraries for Arduino, Raspberry Pi and other controllers
• Integrated light source

And of course, Pixy2 does everything that the original Pixy can do:

• Small, fast, easy-to-use, low-cost, readily-available vision system
• Learns to detect objects that you teach it
• Connects to Arduino with included cable. Also works with Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone and similar controllers
• All libraries for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc. are provided
