Colored object tracking drone using cmucam5 & arduino

Hi guys,
I am working on an object tracking project with pixy camera cmucam5 & arduino, and I was thinking about applying its functions on my quadcopter drone (F450), does anyone have a good background with this topic can provide me assured Tutorials including (codes& required components).

Hi, depending on what you’re after, there are some existing resources:

  1. IR-LOCK has a special version of Pixy firmware that allows tracking infrared targets, for precision drone landing. Check it out here: https://irlock.com/collections/ir-markers

  2. There’s general information on getting Pixy to track objects and send data to Arduino at the following links:

Hope this helps!
