-Sometimes the color signatures you teach Pixy2 need to be "​tweaked"​ -- that is, you are getting some false positives (Pixy2 is detecting objects that aren't the objects that you intended) or false negatives (Pixy2 isn't detecting the object you just taught it, or it's detecting the object intermittently.) You can tweak things by bringing up the Configure dialog (click on the gear icon or select **File➜Configure**).
