Can I save images frame by frame with pixycam?

umm… I heard that pixycam is not available at recording a video, so i wondered if i can save images frame by frame with pixy(so i can connect these images and get the video). i’ll use arduino and raspberry pi 3. Can anyone help me with this task?

Hello,
You can get RGB frames from Pixy over USB (see the get_raw_frame example in libpixyusb2_examples), but unfortunately, you can’t do this over SPI, UART and I2C.

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

can I save image using Arduino? or pixy mon? in matlab or python? and how?

Hi, you can save images manually via PixyMon. Otherwise, as @edge mentions in the post above, you can get raw frames over USB. Pixy is designed primarily to send data about images, not the images themselves.

After using the get_raw_frame as mentioned above I get this error:
