Color detection with arduino

Hi, I am starting a new project and I need a camera to count when an object of a defined color shows up on frame and disappears. The objects don’t have the same or a defined shape, only the same color, so I want to know if I can do that with the CMUcam5 Pixy and arduino. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

Hi Rodrigo,

yes, this should be an ideal application for Pixy. It detects objects based on color.

You can find a tutorial here: http://cmucam.org/projects/cmucam5/wiki/Hooking_up_Pixy_to_a_Microcontroller_(like_an_Arduino)

Hope this helps,
Jesse
