get_blocks.py not recognizing color codes that PixyMon is able to recognize (RaspberryPi 3)

Pixy Software
#1

I am using the pixy on a Raspberry Pi 3. I have taught the pixy 2 color code signatures (1,2 and 3,4). When I use the PixyMon GUI I see the targets recognized and everything seems to work as it should. When I use the get_blocks.py I see a bunch of results with signatures that don’t match mine. When I filter for just mine (sig = 12 and sig = 34) I get no results. Any ideas what is happening?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Hello Max,
Note, that the color code numbers 12, and 34 are octal (base-8) numbers. See this doc (search for octal):

http://cmucam.org/projects/cmucam5/wiki/Using_Color_Codes

For example 12 octal is 18+2 = 10 decimal, and 34 octal is 38+4 = 28 decimal.

Are those the numbers you are seeing?
