| - | Pixy2 can easily connect to lots of different controllers because it supports several interface options (UART serial, SPI, I2C, USB, or digital/analog output), but Pixy began its life talking to Arduinos. We’ve added support for Arduino Due, Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black. Software libraries are provided for all of these platforms so you can get up and running quickly. Additionally, we’ve added a Python API if you’re using a Linux-based controller (e.g. Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone). | + | Pixy2 can easily connect to lots of different controllers because it supports several interface options (UART serial, SPI, I2C, USB, or digital/analog output), but Pixy began its life talking to Arduinos.

| What does “60 frames per second” mean? In short, it means Pixy2 is fast. Pixy2 processes an entire image frame every 1/60th of a second (16.7 milliseconds). This means that you get a complete update of all detected objects’ positions every 16.7 ms. At this rate, tracking the path of falling/bouncing ball is possible. (A ball traveling at 40 mph moves less than a foot in 16.7 ms.) If your robot is performing line following, your robot will typically move a small fraction of an inch between frames. | What does “60 frames per second” mean? In short, it means Pixy2 is fast.
