 To teach Pixy2 the color code signatures, put a color code in front of Pixy2 and select **Action➜Set CC signature 1** and select the first color in the color code. The photos below show the steps for a 4-tag color code: To teach Pixy2 the color code signatures, put a color code in front of Pixy2 and select **Action➜Set CC signature 1** and select the first color in the color code.

-The cool part is that once you get all of the signatures programmed, you can mix them up and Pixy2 will "​decode"​ each one. +Once you get all of the signatures programmed, you can mix them up and Pixy2 will "​decode"​ each one.

-And that's the gist of color codes -- fairly simple, really.+

-The angle value that's reported raises a question -- since color codes can be in any orientation,​ aren't there two possible ways to report a color code? For example, a color code that has three tags consisting of: color code signature 1, next to color code signature 2, next to color code signature 3, could have an octal representation of 123, or possibly 321. Which representation is used? The smaller numerical representation (123) is always reported for consistency.+The angle value that's reported raises a question -- since color codes can be in any orientation,​ aren't there two possible ways to report a color code?

Additionally,​ objects that match color code signatures, but are not part of a color code are also reported.   - **Mixed:** In this mode, color code objects are reported along with normal objects.
