====== Hooking up Pixy2 to LEGO Mindstorms ======


===== If you have Pixy2 for LEGO =====

Pixy2 for LEGO comes with a special Pixy2-to-LEGO cable and is preloaded with a version of the firmware that speaks the LEGO protocol by default. If you have Pixy2 for LEGO, just follow our [[wiki:v2:Pixy_LEGO_Quick_Start|Pixy2 for LEGO Quick Start Guide]].


To determine if you have the LEGO firmware on your Pixy, bring up the About dialog in Pixymon and it will tell you if the firmware is "LEGO" (meaning you have the LEGO firmware) or "general" (meaning you have the regular version of firmware that works with Arduino and others.)  


===== If you have "regular" Pixy2 =====

If you have "regular" Pixy2, you can still hook it up to LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It will require you to [[wiki:v2:DIY_LEGO_cable|make a Pixy2 LEGO cable]], or possibly buy a Pixy2 LEGO cable from one of our distributors - currently [[https://www.robotshop.com/en/catalogsearch/result/?q=pixy2+lego&order=relevance&dir=desc|Robotshop]] or [[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NJK8QSX|Amazon US]].

Once you've bought or [[wiki:v2:DIY_LEGO_cable|made a cable]], you'll need to set the **Data out port** to **LEGO I2C** in the [[wiki:v2:Interface_Pane|Interface Tab]] in PixyMon.\\
