Basic problem - Pixymon no longer running

Pixy Software
#1

Hi

Pixy newbie…

On a Windows 7 PC I successfully installed Pixymon, downloaded new firmware to the camera and began to teach it. It was going so well…
Now when I try to start Pixymon no window appears but it shows up as a process on the PC (that I can’t stop!).
Also, the connected Pixy camera shows an initial bright white LED which burns for about 30s then it diminishes to a dim flickering LED.
I have tried reloading the software and I know the USB port and cable are fine as use them (just now) to run a PIC programmer.

Any ideas? Is the software start, connection, Pixy power up sequence rigid i.e. one must be done before the other?

thanks.

Hey Fergus,

sorry you’re having trouble! Hmmm, this one is odd. If you start PixyMon without Pixy being connected to the computer, what happens?

Do you have access to a different computer that you can try?

Thanks,
Jesse
