Is it possible to get Pixy data into a web app?

I’d like to read the output from Pixy to plot images in a browser with Javascript?

Yes, I did it, but the trick was to use a BeagleBone Black.
It costs some money, but neither Arduino shields are for free.
I’m drawing the schematics of my project right now.

Thanks for the reply. Post a link to your schematics I’d like to take a look.

I was trying to use an extension to read the serial port. I was hoping I could connect the Pixy to the computer with a USB cable. So far I haven’t had any luck.

There you go

PS
If you setup everything correctly, the file petmouse.js only exposes Pixy data to a local address on the computer which is directly connected to the BeagleBone Black via USB. If you want to use that data in a web app, maybe you’ll have to deal yourself with JSONP and/or CORS and stuff like that, and my code is not enough, of course.
