commands like cam_setWBV via UART?

Hi!

First of all: I really like PIXY! Congrats to everyone involved!

Quick question: Is there a way to send camera commands via the UART interface? i.e. is it possible to configure the camera directly from the Microcontroller?

thanks,
Danny

Hi Daniel,

Glad to hear you’re enjoying Pixy!

Currently this is not possible. The configurations are set using remote procedure calls with the Chirp protocol, which currently only works over USB. We’re working on an improved API, and will likely allow setting configurations using other communication methods (like UART) in this API.
