Read a water meter?

Hello guys…
I was wondering if it is possible to use pixy and the pythonlib to read a analog water meter, where it could read the little rotating dish, every liters or something depending on the scale on the water meter…

Hello Rasmus,
I’m not sure if I understand what Pixy will be looking at or detecting. Can you provide some pictures?

Yes of course :slight_smile:

I’ve attached a picture… Planning to read the small needles rotation…

Hello Rasmus,
Thank you for the picture :slight_smile: This is a tough one for Pixy. Pixy can measure angles if there is a color code, but single-colored objects have no angle as far as Pixy is concerned. Can you modify the needle – perhaps make one end green (for example)?
