libpixyusb - setup

Pixy Software
#1

Hi there,

I’m building one-marker headtracker for flight sims. I use a big green led as the marker.
Pixy output is going to be finally transmitted via tcp or udp to flight sim program (flightgear, silentwings etc).
After a try with interfacing via arduino I moved to libpixyusb.

I’v modified hello_pixy c++ demo to suite my needs.

Now the issue: Just before I run hello_pixy I have a stable red led on pixy (first signature). After I start hello_pixy the led starts blinking heavily and output is a jitter.
What is the difference in cam configuration beetween “pixy via arduino” and “pixy via libpixyusb”.

Many thanks,
Darek

Hi Darek,

The libraries to communicate via Arduino and USB are much different, although you should still be getting the same values. Does it work fine in Pixymon? That might give you a better indication if libpixyusb is working since they both use the same Chirp protocol.
