Pixy2 Smart Vision Sensor: Object Tracking Camera for Arduino, Raspberry Pi & BeagleBone Black Projects
Unlock the power of machine vision for your next robotics, automation, or maker project with the Pixy2 Smart Vision Sensor. This compact, powerful camera is designed to see, track, and report objects in real-time, making it the perfect vision solution for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone Black platforms. Unlike complex USB webcams, Pixy2 processes images on-board with its dedicated processor, offloading work from your main microcontroller or computer for faster, more reliable performance. It can track hundreds of objects simultaneously by color, color codes, and even detect lines for navigation, all without taxing your system’s CPU. Key features include a simple, fast interface (SPI, I2C, UART, or USB), an integrated light source for consistent detection, and easy configuration with the free PixyMon software. The benefits are immense: drastically reduce development time, add sophisticated vision capabilities without a steep learning curve, and create interactive projects that respond to their environment. Use cases are endless: build a line-following robot, create a sorting machine that identifies colored objects, develop an interactive art installation, or construct an autonomous vehicle that avoids obstacles. The Pixy2 comes with libraries and examples for major platforms, so you can get started in minutes. Elevate your prototypes from simple to smart. Bring true vision-based intelligence to your Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or BeagleBone Black creations with the versatile and powerful Pixy2.
