Sending a frame from pixy via. USB

Pixy Software
#1

Hello

I am trying to do traffic sign recognition with the Pixy cam and an Arduino Uno (controls the car). After having identified an object (a traffic sign) i need to send either the detected area or the entire frame to a windows PC through USB or WiFi. This is needed for further processing/identification on the image.

Is there an easy way to get a frame from the pixy camera through either USB, WiFi or a third option? Any libraries that can be used on the windows PC that allow easy retrieval of entire frames or detected regions?

Regards
Andreas

Hello,
Pixy is usually used connected to a controller like and Arduino, or a Linux-based controller (Raspberry Pi, etc). As such, we don’t have official client support for Windows (sorry). We do have client support for Linux, and it supports getting raw frames.
