Using Pixy in MATLAB

Hi!

I’m kinda newbie when it comes to PIXY so please do help me with my question :slight_smile:
I’m an MS Electronics Engineering student and right now I have a project
My professor used a cmucam3 for visual surveying and interfaced it in MATLAB before,
my question right now, how do I interface Pixy Cmucam5 in Matlab for image processing? :slight_smile:

Hi Jerome,

The CMUcam3 is VERY different from the CMUcam5/Pixy, so whatever he did for that probably doesn’t directly apply here. For Pixy you can use the “libpixyusb”:https://github.com/charmedlabs/pixy/tree/master/src/host/libpixyusb library to access the data from your desktop in C++ code. From there you can probably write a Matlab wrapper somehow (I’ve never done it but have heard of other people that have, so I know its possible).

Hope this helps!

Scott
