Hi Roger,
- I don’t think there is any best one for Pixy, but if you’re just starting out I’d suggest getting the Arduino Uno since it is their standard board
- I can’t really tell you if it works since I don’t have a Boe-Bot to try it on. Hopefully someone else on these forums (or Boe-Bot forums) can give you a better answer here. Pixy supports quite a few communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, etc) so I’d like to think you’d be able to make the setup work.
- I’ve seen mentions of the Xbees on these forums, but no feedback. Xbees work well with Arduino, and so does Pixy. So you should be able to communicate between the two via an Arduino.
If anyone else has had good/bad experiences with Boe-Bot or Xbee, we’d love to hear about it!
Good luck on your project, Roger!
Scott
