Question Regarding getting Raw image data

Hi im using pixy right now and im only trying to use it as a camera.

could you tell me how would i be able to get the raw image data from the camera and maybe store it in a text file or csb file?

May I ask which one on the files of pixy-masters is the code for getting the image data? From pixy to usb connection

Hi Jerome,

The video is transferred over USB in the BA81 FourCC format. In “this”:https://github.com/charmedlabs/pixy/blob/master/src/host/pixymon/renderer.cpp source file you can see the different image data formats getting unpacked and rendered. For the BA81 format parsing, see line 182. It might be easiest for you to modify the source and have this routine dump the image data to a file after parses the frame data.

Hope this helps.

Scott
