-Pixy can detect an object that is miles away as long as the object is large enough. Described another way -- Pixy will detect an object that's as small as 4x1 pixels in the image. This means it can detect a ping-pong ball sized object at 10 feet, assuming a 75 degree field-of-view lens (the lens Pixy ships with). A lens with a longer focal length can greatly extend the detection distance, but with a narrower field of view.
+Pixy2 can detect an object that is miles away as long as the object is large enough. Described another way -- Pixy2 will detect an object that's as small as 4x1 pixels in the image. This means it can detect a ping-pong ball sized object at 10 feet, aka a 40mm object at 3 meters.
+Regarding minimum focal distance: Pixy2 will focus on objects as close as 5cm / 2 inches away from the lens. Closer than that, they start to get fuzzy.
