hi i am a part of an FRC team and we are using the pixy 5 with a roborio every once in a while the signature detected just dost detect something it used to detect before. We thought it might be something with not powering off the pixy properly, or the white balance changing. it just stops recognizing something that looks to us just like it did before when it did work. if anyone knows how to help we will really appreciate it.
Hi, this could be caused by two things - first, power fluctuations can corrupt Pixy’s flash memory, and therefore the stored signatures. It’s especially vulnerable to low voltage, so if you’re running from batteries, you could try keeping them at a higher level of charge and see if that changes things.
Second, you can disable automatic white balancing from PixyMon - check the Camera tab in PixyMon and disable “Auto white balance” and “Auto white balance on power-up”.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Jesse
