Program Identify Color and Send Message or location via LogFile in TXT extensions

I need a program that will: identify a color, and send message to email or a network location for storing a txt with the log of all identified colors or objects identified with different colors registered.

Someone to help me or send proposal.

Hi Geraldo,

Pixy interfaces really well with Arduino, which has a few shield add-ons that can help you with the email side of things. If you have any specific questions about Pixy I’d be happy to answer them.

Hi Scott, thanks for returning…

I buy the camera and mounted the base: +http://www.cmucam.org/projects/cmucam5/wiki/Assembling_pantilt_Mechanism+ , but I need the following:

  • Identifies a color camera.
  • All the different colors of the color identified should be recorded, photographed with date and time and stored in a shared network location.
  • Or, send via email or sms.

Imagine a treadmill, where he spends some materials.
The camera must identify a color and everything is different for log record.
How to register can be network, sms or email, etc.

Do you Understands what to write?

I´m from Brazil.

“Here”:http://cmucam.org/projects/cmucam5/wiki/Teach_Pixy_an_object is the info you need to teach Pixy to detect objects. Pixy is meant for detecting objects and sending back the data, not for recording video, so you may need another camera, or Pixy might not be right for your application.

As for sending email/SMS, there are some Arduino shields that can help you with that, or you can hook up Pixy to your desktop and use “libpixyusb”:https://github.com/charmedlabs/pixy/tree/master/src/host/libpixyusb to interface with it. Then you can write a desktop app to send email/SMS.
