error: Unable to connect to device

Salutations,

When I first got my Pixy, I was able to hook it up to a Raspberry Pi and get readings from it. The “hello_pixy” program was able to get the firmware version and everything. And then I decided to hook it up to an Arduino and then to my PC so I could test a program. Everything was good but I noticed the camera looked distorted so I twisted the lens a little bit and boom, that’s when it all ended. That is when I started to get “error: Unable to connect to device”

I’ve tested it with different cables, different USB hubs, and on different devices and I have come up with nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Jordan,
That is odd. Please use the debugging guide here:

You might skip to steps 4 and 5 since you already had it talking to your PC. Let me know what you find.
