| - | ===== If you have "regular" Pixy ===== | + | 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" 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.
