Pixy2 CMUcam5

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.

Here's what we've added to Pixy2 CMUcam5:

• Improved framerate – 60 frames-per-second with Pixy2.
• Tracking algorithms have been added to color-based object detection
• Improved and simplified libraries for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other controllers
• Integrated light source
• 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
• 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
