Pan/tilt with Pixymon erratic behaviour

Hi I just build the pixycam2 with the pan/tilt servo kit, find the way to teach an object (tennis ball yellow) then tried the demo and it worked fine.
After i tried to teach the color coded with another ball with 2 colors (setCC signature).
Seem i did someting wrong somewhere . Now the demo does not work fine anymore and the servo sometime seem to lost the signal for a moment, and \or block on the tilt up position.

I did clear all signature , and start again de learning object from the Pixycam button, and the object definition is bad .

Another point is that on demo program there is no video ;screen is black

regards,

Hello,
It’s normal for the screen to be mostly black when running the pan/tilt demo. This is because streaming full video slows down the update rate, which is undesirable for the pan/tilt demo.

Perhaps you should try to get your Pixy2 detecting your object reliably first before moving on to the pan-tilt demo.

This page has some tips and hints.

Once you get Pixy2 detecting and tracking your object, switch over to the pan-tilt demo.
