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

-If you have "regular" Pixy, you can still hook it up to LEGO mindstorms. It will require you to [[wiki:v2:DIY_LEGO_cable|make a cable]], which is fairly easy, and you must have the correct hardware revision of Pixy (R1.3A). Look on at the backside of your Pixy. Does it look like the picture below (R1.3A)? If so, your Pixy will work with LEGO.\\
+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]].

-If the backside of your Pixy looks like the picture below (R1.3), your Pixy is not compatible with LEGO, unfortunately. :(\\
+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.\\

+{{wiki:v1:image_742.png}}
-(Actually, the only difference between these two revisions is that R14 and R15 are 82K for revision 1.3A instead of 4.7K for revision 1.3, but replacing surface-mount resistors requires some decent amount of skill.)
