PixyMon gltiching, weird settings

Pixy Software
#1

Hello world!

I was going trough a routine procedure, teaching my Pixy some colors. When I connected my Pixy to my PC via USB cable, I launched PixyMon and opened settings window. I noticed that the options in all tabs switched their regular positions, and in the Signature Creation tab, there was an extra copy of a Min Saturation (see screenshot attached). I restarted my computer and tried again, the problem (?) is still here. I have not updated PixyMon software and dont believe that it did so automatically.
Interestingly enough, the two Signature saturation fields have the same tooltip, but updating one does not updates the other…

Any thoughts on this?

Here are two more screenshots from the settings menu. I know that Brightness parameter was the first one, and now its the last one.

Actually, I just got my hands on another Pixy camera, plugged it in, and the settings came back to the way they used to be. Next, I plugged in the first camera, and the settings became weird again. So something must have happened to my Pixy?

What version of firmware does the first Pixy use?

Pixymon actually queries the connected camera to see what settings it will accept. So a different configuration or different firmware version might explain this.

Both Pixies were running the same, and latest version of firmware, 1.02 betta. I play with pixies every day (all day), and I only saw this thing happen once. Eventually the problem somehow went away

In the very first screenshot that I uploaded, there were two saturation parameters, so I set one to 10 and the other one to 15 just to see what would happen. This caused Pixy to forget about HALF of my color signatures, which was kind of strange. I occasionaly lose color signature data (described in another forum post), and when that happens the camera goes to a complete factory reset. Didn’t happen this time, and some of my settings (such as output port) remained the same.

Thanks for the feedback, Vadim. If you ever run in to this again or find out how to reproduce it we’d love to get the details!

Thanks.
