powering the pixy from an AVR

Hi, I noticed that Pixys’ NXP gets pretty hot. Is it safe to power Pixy with an Arduino? Also, is there any documentation for color codes (like returning the angle)?

Hi George,

Color codes are not yet included in the current firmware version. We wanted to get the Pixy’s shipped to our backers but didn’t want to ship a buggy color code implementation. So it will be released in a future firmware update.

The arduino should be able to supply Pixy’s power with no problems.
