Arduino IDE

You need this to program your Arduino.

About this project

This is my first Guide, so bear with me!

Here is a video. This is also my first video. Lots of firsts today! Sorry if the quality isn't that great. (I didn't

script this either, obviously)

In this guide, I will show you how to hook up and code your Arduino to connect to your Pixy! The first thing

you want to do is gather the materials.

1) Arduino Uno (or other board, as long as it has an ICSP breakout.)

2) Pixy cmuCAM (I got mine from amazon, but you can find yours in other places)

program has a picture of a purple dinosaur, it worked.

You also need to download the Arduino IDE and the library.

Once you have the Arduino IDE program working. Then go to Sketch>Include Library> Add .zip Library and

choose the library you downloaded earlier.

Step 2: Preparing the Pixy and the Arduino

Open the Pixymon program from step 1, and connect your pixy to the computer. It should take a couple of

seconds to start.

Now its the fun part!

Find a nice, colorful object that you are sure is not similar to the colors around you. (I used a bright pink ball

as I uploaded the Picture. sorry about that.

For the final configuration, go to configure>PixyMon Paramers and change runprogArg 8 1 to runprog 0. This

will make the camera start up with the regular mode. If you want to see the video feed with the signitures,

change the video to raw or cooked mode.

Step 3: Set up Arduino and Pixy

Here are some pictures. This part is probably the quickest and the easiest.

Gather the Arduino and the cable that came with the Pixy cam
