syncronize 2 pixys?

Hello, I’m using the propeller microcontroller to read data from the pixy. I’m able to read the data packets as using the UART communication. I was wondering if there is any way to trigger when an image is being refreshed. For example, use two pixy’s and synchronize one of them to process the image at half the sampling frequency of the other one. So both the pixys would output data at an offset of about 10 ms (or maybe a little slower). I guess my question is: can I send a command to the pixy to start processing the image?

Hi Ray,

Right now there is no way to tell Pixy when to process an image. You can always skip images until you’re ready since the Pixy protocol indicates when a new frame starts.

Why exactly do you need the 10ms delay?
