Is it possible to get data from Pixy Mon on osx?

Thank you.

Hello Matthew,
I’m not clear on what you mean by “get data from Pixy”. Do you need to log specific data, to a file, or example? Or do you just want to render Pixy’s data?

I am writing an osx app and would like to receive signature data from pixy mon on osx (opposed to using a micro controller). I would like to incorporate object recognition in my app.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Hello Matthew,
You might consider using libpixyusb, which is basically a simple API to talk to Pixy over USB. Most people use it on Linux controllers (not so much Windows or OSX), but targeting OSX should be fairly straightforward. Here is info on getting it compiled and running in Linux:
