Hi everybody,
just a quick thought to share. Does Pixy currently (or in the future) run any OS?
Because we use it at work, NuttX came to mind for me. Any thoughts regarding the use of NuttX on Pixy?
I think this might help for integration with microcontrollers other than arduino/raspi.
Best,
Basil
Hi Basil,
Pixy does not run on top of an OS. Much of our code is written at a very low level in order to ensure it is fast. I don’t have much experience with running RTOS’s (although Rich might, I’m not sure), so I don’t know what kind of overhead they introduce. I’m not sure we’d be able to achieve 50fps running on top of an OS though.
This would be a good thing to discuss with the community once people get their hands on Pixy.
