LED Brightness

Pixy Hardware
#1

Am I supposed to be able to control the brightness of the LED from the PixyMon software. The light goes bright white for a second when I plug the camera in, and then goes dark. Changing the ‘LED Brightness’ setting on the ‘Expert’ page seems to have no effect.

Thanks.

Hello John,
The LED is normally OFF. It turns on when Pixy detects an object or when it’s indicating a signature during teach mode.

Hope this helps!
