sory for my bad english

Hello Ahmad,
Pixy does not currently have an algorithm that identifies lines. This is something that is on our list, but we don’t have a release date.

Hello Eward,
I want to ask you that could Pixy detect two object and then save them on memory.
Example I want to allow my robot come to blue object( a ball) , then take it to another position( red object).
All your opinion appreciated!
(sorry about my bad English)

Hello Hai,
You might consider teaching Pixy two signatures: one for the blue ball (signature 1) and one for the red object (signature 2). You can then detect the blue ball and then look for the red object to place the ball.

Hope this helps!

There is some detailed info on how Pixy communicates with an Arduino here:
