Sparks Detection

Hello,

I’m working on a project to build a system to detect whether there are sparks in a generator. There are also different colored sparks, so my question is: Can Pixy be used to detect the size, location, and color of the sparks?
I am planning to use Pixy with an Arduino Due connected to a touch screen.

Thank you.

Hello Jack,
Wow, I don’t think anyone has tried this! Do you have any pictures of the sparks?

Hi Edward,

The sparks look something like this video.

Thank you.

Hello Jack,
It looks like you are just looking for bright spots in the image. You might take a look at the IR-lock firmware modification that does this.

Hope this helps!

Edward
