Pixymon build with QT (Windows)

Hello,

I’m attempting to build the pixymon source on Windows 10 using QT 5.15.1. Using the mingw compiler.

Do you think that is possible? I have been having execution issues (I think I have the correct DLLs in application directory).

I noticed that the pixymon windows installer uses QT 5.2.1. Which is from 2014 or so, I think.

Hello,
I haven’t tried these versions… give it a try :slight_smile:

Thanks. It seemed to work.

We are looking to query multiple Pixy2 cameras with Pixymon. Our thought was adding a TCP socket server within pixymon to accept the query commands from a client and forward to appropriate pixymon method and pass back reponse. Does that sound feasible? Or would there be a better way? (We are using Windows)

Hello,
Communication to Pixy happens over a protocol called Chirp. It’s a simple query/response protocol. You might be able to send these over TCP… it’s an interesting idea.

Edward
