Hello,
An LED is small, but Pixy should be able to detect. The trick is to turn down the “Camera Brightness”:

Turn down the Camera Brightness such that you can see the color of the LED clearly, then teach Pixy the color of the LED by using the mouse-select method through PixyMon:

Hope this helps!
