The Pixy2 CMUCam5 is an advanced image sensor designed for microcontrollers and single-board computers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and more. It allows your system to "see" and process images without overwhelming your processor, making it perfect for robotics, vision projects, or any application requiring image detection.
Key Features:
-
Smart Vision System: The Pixy2 uses a powerful processor to filter and send only the necessary image data to your microcontroller, preventing data overload.
-
Versatile Communication: It supports multiple communication methods, including UART, SPI, I2C, digital out, and analog out, making it easy to integrate into various systems.
-
Teachable Detection: Teach the Pixy2 what to look for simply by pressing a button. It can remember up to seven color signatures and track hundreds of objects simultaneously.
-
High-Speed Processing: Capable of processing images at 60 frames per second, ensuring fast performance for real-time applications, like line-following robots.
-
Hue and Saturation Detection: Instead of relying on traditional RGB, Pixy2 uses hue and saturation for object detection, providing more reliable performance under varying lighting and exposure conditions.
-
Advanced Algorithms: Pixy2 includes new features like line-following capabilities, detecting intersections, and recognizing "road signs" for guiding robots to perform specific actions (turn, slow down, etc.).
-
Open-Source Application: Comes with PixyMon, an open-source application to configure and view what the Pixy2 is detecting.
Included Accessories:
- 6-pin-to-10-pin IDC cable
- USB to Micro USB cable
- Mounting tabs and screws
The Pixy2 is faster, smarter, and more adaptable than the original Pixy, providing a highly efficient and flexible solution for image sensing and processing. Whether you need a camera sensor for a robot, vision system, or just to detect specific objects, the Pixy2 is an excellent choice!
