Pixy longterm performance

Hi! I am planning to use some pixys for an important exhibition this summer in Italy, and they are supposed to be working 6 hours a day for one week. My question is how reliable are they for this kind of “longterm” performance? Should I have something in mind? I’m still defining how am I going to power them and everything but everytime I test the small prototype with the pan/tilt and small servos I notice that the chip on the front gets quite warm and I that’s when my question came up.

Thanks!

Hello Yoryline,
I think you are referring to the processor getting warm. Pixy’s processor is running at 200Mhz, which tends to dissipate some amount of heat. Regarding Pixy’s longevity, I’ll let others respond. We haven’t had any issues.
