The Pixy2 CMUcam5 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. Pixy2 CMUcam5 can detect lines, intersections and small barcodes, intended for line-following robots.
The small, fast, easy-to-use, low-cost, readily-available vision system. Able to learn to detect objects that you teach it. Compatible with Arduino using the included cable. Also works with Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone and similar controllers. All libraries for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc. are provided.
