color codes and hello_pixy

Hello,

I trained my pixy to follow the color codes on the side of the box using PixyMon. as soon as i exit PixyMon and run the hello_pixy example on my raspberry pi it returns no blocks at all and i notice the LED on front is a bright white . however the moment i launch PixyMon it goes back to a small yellow and orange dot on LED? does pixymon need to be running for hello_pixy to detect the color codes?

Please help.

Hi Srikanth,

Thanks for the message – this appears to be a bug specific to color codes and libpixyusb that needs to be fixed. We’ll have it fixed in the next release expected next week.

thanks!

I have this same issue. ColorCodes not displayed with hello_pixy or the python swig interface. Please let us know when a fix is available for testing.

Related to the SWIG interface, it would be really good if the example would read more than one signature because reading just one is not all that useful and figuring how to handle the array with SWIG/Cython is not exactly simple.

Hello all,

The new build is posted on github that fixes this issue in libpixyusb. Grab the latest code and let us know how it goes!

I built the code a couple of days back, it worked.
