Pixy with Fpga and SPI

Pixy Software
#1

Hello,

I want to know if it’s possible to control the Pixy cam with a Labview FPGA program ? I have a program which send bytes via spi protocol and I want to know how to convert the PixyMon’s functions in binary language.

Thanks you.

Thank you Edward.

Hello,

I checked the page you showed me and I have another question. Is there a page where I can find a list of command to speak with Pixy?

For example if I want to get the coordinates of the object which is detected what do I have to send? What the word looks like?

I’m sorry I’m not very good to use this code…

Thanks.

Ben

Hello Ben,
Pixymon streams what it detects continuously. Think of pixymon like a sensor. (there is no command needed to tell pixy that send data)

Thanks Edward.

So If I want get the coordinates I have to get this stream of data and analyse it?

Hello Benoit,
Pixy has several output modes, one of which is analog (Pixy just outputs a voltage of the x or y position of the detected object.) This page has useful info:
