Questions about Pixy CMUcam5 readability.

Pixy Hardware
#1

Hello,
I’m thinking of using Pixy CMUcam5 along with the arduino to do the reading of drawings as it is in the links of the videos below.

Would it work?

Hello Douglas,
I’m not sure what you are asking. You want something to read drawings? Can you be more specific?

Hello Edward,
I need a sensor to be connected to the arduino reading the drawing line then the arduino will send the information of the line that was read to one motor on the X axis and another one on the Y axis to follow the line.

Basically it will work like a robo following of line so it must move the axes x and y with smooth movements.

Hello Douglas,
sounds interesting! Pixy currently is good at detecting color objects. Reporting about lines is something that we will likely add to PIxy’s capabilities, but it is currently not available. (sorry!)
