| - | Pixy (CMUcam5) is a partnership between the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute and Charmed Labs. Pixy comes from a long line of CMUcams, but Pixy got its real start as a [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/254449872/pixy-cmucam5-a-fast-easy-to-use-vision-sensor|Kickstarter campaign]]. It first started shipping in March of 2014, but it’s already become **the most popular vision system in history**! Pixy is funded exclusively through sales, so thank you for making Pixy a success! You can watch the original Kickstarter video below — it’s a good introduction! | + | Pixy (CMUcam5) is a partnership between the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute and Charmed Labs.

| Pixy can learn seven color signatures, numbered 1-7. Color signature 1 is the default signature. To teach Pixy the other signatures (2-7) requires a simple button pressing sequence. | Pixy can learn seven color signatures, numbered 1-7. Color signature 1 is the default signature.

| PixyMon is great for debugging your application. You can plug a USB cable into the back of Pixy and run PixyMon and then see what Pixy sees while it is hooked to your Arduino or other microcontroller — no need to unplug anything. PixyMon is open source, like everything else. | PixyMon is great for debugging your application.

| CCs might be particularly useful for helping a robot navigate. For example, an indoor environment with CCs uniquely identifying each doorway and hallway would be both low-cost and robust. | CCs might be particularly useful for helping a robot navigate.
