+ | ====== Hooking up Pixy2 to a Raspberry Pi ====== | ||
- | + | Hooking up Pixy2 to your Raspberry Pi entails building the libpixyusb2 library, so your Pixy2 can talk over USB to your Raspberry Pi. | |
- | ====== Hooking up Pixy to a Raspberry Pi ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | ====== 1. Introduction ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The following procedure outlines the steps required to build the 'hello_pixy' example on a Raspberry Pi using the Raspberrian disribution. The 'hello\_pixy' example is a simple program that demonstrates how to read blocks and send commands to the Pixy over USB like PixyMon. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | You will need: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * SD Card with NOOBS 1.3.9 installed | + | |
- | * USB Hub with at least three ports | + | |
- | * Pixy updated to latest firmware (1.0.2) | + | |
- | * libpixyusb version is 0.3 | + | |
- | + | ||
- | NOOBS is available from the Raspberry Pi website here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | ====== 2. Procedure ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | ===== 2.1. Raspberry Pi Hardware Setup ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | ==== 2.1.1. Connect your Raspberry Pi to the Internet ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Raspberry Pi to an internet source as shown below. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{wiki:img:c915bad8138d82804e0f7f1360e4bbb54877be2f.jpg?400}} | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | ==== 2.1.2. Connect your Raspberry Pi to a video display ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Using an HDMI cable, connect the Raspberry Pi to a video display as shown below. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | {{wiki:img:f3e7d4db3cdd88a0b0271ecee6465a8c3ec70a31.jpg?400}} | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | ==== 2.1.3. Connect Keyboard, Mouse, and Pixy to USB hub ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Raspberry Pi only has two USB ports, so a hub is needed to connect Pixy, a keyboard, and mouse simultaneously. Using the hub, connect your keyboard, mouse, and Pixy to the Raspberry Pi. | + | |
