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 Ard, 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 Ard with included cable. Also works with Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone and similar controllers
-
All libraries for Ard, Raspberry Pi, etc. are provided
-
C/C++ and Python are supported
-
Communicates via one of several interfaces: SPI, I2C, UART, USB or analog/digital output
-
Configuration utility runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux
-
All software/firmware is open-source GNU-licensed
-
All hardware documentation including schematics, bill of materials, PCB layout, etc. are provided
