I want to use PixyMon with Linux but I had upgraded my firmware to 2.0.8. There doesn’t appear to be a compatible PixyMon source available. What can I do to get pixy to work on Linux, now that I had upgraded my firmware?
I liked that parts of this project were at one time open source but I noticed the last source release was last July- is the 2.0 branch going to stay as closed source?
Hello Jonathan,
The latest PixyMon source in github is compatible with the 2.0.8 firmware. (Note, the PixyMon version and the the firmware version don’t have to be exactly the same.)
Just follow the instructions here and all should be good:

The project is still open source my friend! Maybe you’re confused by some of the older tarballs of source code. We’ve switched to just using github for distributing source (no tarballs).
