Recording video with Pixy2

I was wondering if the Pixy2 package offers video recording capabilities.

If not, I would greatly appreciate a tutorial on how this may be implemented, if possible.

I plan on using the Pixy2 with an Arduino Uno, and it would be very ideal to be able to save raw recorded video on a host computer.

Thank you,

Paul

Hello Paul,
Pixy2 doesn’t support video recording (sorry)

But to clarify – you want to save video on Pixy2, not on a host computer, correct?

Id like to save video to a host computer!
Id like to have the raw video saved for potential offline processing.

This would be a PixyMon feature, and it’s not currently supported. (sorry)

Well, you can use the libpixyusb library for linux for getting raw frames from pixy through usb and then merge it to video using ffmpeg or something like that.

Yes, this is true :slight_smile:
