The video program displays video – simple! It can also be used to get red, green and blue pixel values of specified locations within the video images. Check out the video API for more details.

We noticed that several Pixy1 users were using Pixy to just sense color values, but using the color connected components algorithm to do so. To make these kinds of color sensing applications easier (we're talking to you, Rubik's cube solvers!), we added the getRGB() function to the video program. We won't be giving any TED talks on this feature, but we hope it's useful. :)

Note, PixyMon displays the x, y mouse location in image coordinates in the lower right corner of the main window to help determine the coordinates to request from getRGB().
