Hi Aries,

could you give more information? Has Pixy ever worked properly? Did something happen to cause this? How is the Pan/Tilt not working?

Please take a look at our troubleshooting guide here: http://cmucam.org/projects/cmucam5/wiki/I_get_the_message_"No_Pixy_devices_have_been_detected"_in_PixyMon

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
Jesse

I use arduino execution program I wrote, this program similar paradigm servo_move then external interrupts the execution paradigm pantilt.
But every time I perform complete external interrupt (pantilt) Back servo_move back to the external interrupt (pantilt), I have no way to track color lens.
The LED lights on my camera becomes blue.

Thanks,
aries

Hello,

I am working on my final robotics project for school. I decided to get involved with this cam but ever since I got it, assembled it and run the pan/tilt demo, both servos have not worked properly. After assembling the kit and connecting Pixy to my laptop the servos go to their zero position as they are meant to however when moving to the opposite side (facing downward and to the left) both servos get stuck and wont move (not to mention the continuous buzzing) unless I force them. I already broke one of the servos trying to maneuver it in the opposite direction

The pan is plugged in on the left, the tilt on the right, and the yellow signal wire is at the top for both connectors. I tried switching the position of the connectors (pan on right, tilt on left) just to see the result and the same servo continues to get stuck regardless of which side it is plugged into.

I also tried changing the servo frequency in PixyMon for kicks and the problem still persist.

I also disassembled and reassembled the kit to make sure it was not a binding issue however both servos still get stuck.

Could this be a problem with the pan/tilt demo program the camera is sending to the servos? or could there be another problem at hand?

I appreciate any help I can get!

Thank you,

(BTW I am running the Pixymon version 2.0.9 in a windows 10 x64)
