Tracking brightest pixels

Is there a way I can make the pixy track the brightest pixel and remember to after power down? I plan on using a laser with the Pixy for a project. I don’t want to have to teach the Pixy the laser pointer every time. I figured if I can get pixy to track brightest pixel’s it will track the laser. Can software track brightness instead of hue? Thanks!

Hello Jordan,
Tracking lasers works well if you lower the camera brightness (exposure) so you can see the hue of the laser light.

But if you’re interested in tracking just brightness, you might take a look at what the IR-lock folks are up to.

Their firmware just tracks bright objects.

has anyone given irlock a try. I am really interested but was wondering if it just detects a single point do it work like pixymon works
