Pixy 2 Machine Vision Camera Review with Arduino

- In this video, we test the Pixy 2 Machine Vision camera module. It is an impressive little camera that we can use with Arduino or the ESP32 or even the Raspberry Pi and build impressive projects!
The best part is that you don't have to be a Machine Vision expert to program this board. You can teach this board new objects with a press of a button. A last, Machine Vision made easy!
The designers of the board, describe it as a vision sensor. We can't program this board. This board is preprogrammed, it runs its own firmware and it uses advanced machine vision algorithms to report back only what is interesting. For example, I have trained the board to recognize this 3D printed Pikachu toy. Since this is a Vision Sensor we only care to know if there is a Pikachu in front of the camera, and where is it. The Pixy camera can do just that. It reports that an object is detected and some additional information about it, like the size and position in the frame using either the SPI, UART or I2C interface. I think this is a great idea and a great implementation. We don't have to be a Machine Vision expert to build some Machine Vision applications! We can teach this camera in a few seconds, and the camera will do the hard work for us automatically!

Hello Nick, Welcome back. It's a nice video again. Thanks.
Great to have you back!
Great to see you back online.
Great video. Very interesting. Good to have you back Nick. Glad you are OK. 👍
Welcome back and many thanks for this usefull video!
Great video and very good sensor. Μπράβο ρε φίλε. Ακριβουτσικο βέβαια ακόμα. Περιμένω νέα σου βίντεο.
Well come back, love your great videos..
Was going to say "Welcome back", but everyone has beaten me to it! But, Welcome Back!!
Hey, thanks for the warm welcome! I am glad to be back!
Thank you this is exactly what I’m looking for
Welcome back friend . Very nice video .
I played with both the pixy1 and pixy2 for a small robot project last year. They are indeed pretty cool, but it should be made more clear that they just recognize colors, not shapes. This can be a significant limitation in some cases. PS: love your videos!
Hey Francesco, thank's for the comment. You are right, Pixy does not recognize shapes only colors.
3:54 Pretty clear
It's nice to see an upload from you Nick. Nice new intro too :-)
I can think of two projects I would like to use machine vision for. The first: I'm currently using a doppler sensor, and working on an ultrasonic + passive infrared setup for use with a cat chasing (trolling) robot toy. Sixty five dollars is a bit much for a project my cat will actively plot to destroy, but if an option exists for a little less than half the Pixy's price I'd probably pounce :-)
The second use is one I'm nowhere near ready to build, but am very curious about. I would love to try and build my own component pick and place machine one day. The biggest unknown aspect of a project like this is the machine vision aspect. I believe I could build all the other mechanical parts of the device without issue, but I have no idea where to start with a machine vision system that involves 3D accuracy. I would really appreciate any information you can share about the accuracy, error margins, and/or an abstract overview of what kinds of systems exist for different applications. I'm completely ignorant about this subject.
Thanks for the upload.

Excellent project 👍
I would like a Pixy2 camera. I think it can make an excellent paintball auto-turret.
Thanks for the review. I would love to see a comparison video of the 2 camera modules. Thanks!
If there is enough interest I will prepare a comparison video. Cheers!
Your posts are amazingly awesome! This one is great! I'm going spend 50 euros to get one pixy 2. I've some great idea of use... Thank you very much!
When your project is ready, please share it with us. I would love to see it!
Thank you for this content. I hope this technology will solve all the security issues in the world, so there will be no more bad guys as well as good guys.
Hey Nick, It's good to see you're well.
interesting and amazing camera, i wait the next video
Cool video. Thanks!
Amazing stuff!
thank you, more video plz
Welcome back. You have been missed. :D
Thank you very much, I am glad to be back!
Welcome baaaack!
Informative Video!! I was looking for a camera for a project when I stumbled on this video. I want to capture the positon of a laser pointer on a piece of white paper. if the Pixy2 reads 60 times per second that would be 16.6 ms per read. I was going to have a different Arduino turn the laser pointer on for 100 ms ( adjustable ) So with the laser pointer on time at 100ms it should read it 6 times, I was going to average those and come up with the x and y location. Before buying a Pixy2 I thought I would ask, do you feel that it would be able to do this?
Thanks for any info
I like all the options of the camera but "not quite hd," resolution is disappointing. Wish they could up to at least 1080i spec. I'm no expert but I wonder if one could use this as motion data for stabilization or tracking? You'd probably have to translate the serial data into something that whatever program you are using could understand and establish an offset but it's a neat idea.
I don’t see the description of this video and the code. Could you kindly point me to the place where I can find the code for the LED project? Thank you.
thanks for this usefull video
Can be use to identify ic's for a pick and place machine project?
Hey dude where were you all those days. I missed you a lot. Please upload videos regularly.
amazing! that can follow faces? I want to make following leds.
Damn, my southern brother, hang on. Hope all is ok. I was checking your channel on daily bases.
What is the best machine vision camera.. Please make a comparison
Is it able to recognize 2 objects from each other.
Both are simpler but there are some differences?
Welcome back my friend. What happened? I was worried... I hope everything is fine.
Hello, my friend, I am glad I am finally back. The last 6 months were really tough, I was facing some personal issues but now things are looking better. Thanks for the interest! Cheers!
@@Educ8s eat some Greek food it will help
Awesome
can it recognize deck of cards or different currency notes?
Maximum jow many objects it can able to identify at a time
Great! What about Sipeed Maix or other k210-board?
A review of the MAiX dock board is coming. The K210 is really revolutionary chip. Stay tuned!
Sir, I am an engineering student.
Wanted to use this machine vision cam module for my project for sugarcane farmers..
It's a automatic sugarcane node cutting machine. can you give me brief idea of the code to detect node and give output current through Arduino.?
how have you connected the led to arduino to test
can it detect transparent object like PET bottles?
Sir, please upload the line following pixy Robo, I am going to do the project in my company So I need your lecture before entering into the project
Hello. Can Pixy2 can also detect faces? tya
Code of the one with the servo motor, please??
Sir, try husky lens. It's a new module from DFRobot
Nice video. Can the pixy 2 take a snapshot when an object is recognized? Thank you
I don't think you can do this. OpenMV can do this.
Can you teach a Pixy 2 to recognise handwriting (text or symbols) on a white board with markers? And if yes, how far away would it work?
Pixy can't do it, but OpenMV can do it!
How far can it recognize objects??
Is it compatible with mbot?
Want more videos about pixy with some project examples. Thanks
Yes, I will try to prepare more videos using Pixy. Cheers!
Can I know the price??
And how to buy this kit in INDIA.
Hello
Can i detect flame using pixy
Plz make a multi purpose robot with pixy camera that can talk and make movement
Hi would you please tell me how many objects it detects at the same time when connected with Arduino Uno?
Many objects at once. If I am not mistaken, more than 50 belonging to 8 classes
@@Educ8s thanks for replying I found lots of cool stuff on your channel
Can you sent me the code for green picahu the green light Brun..
Could not find the code
Can this be used for vision inspection of parts?
No, you need an OpenMV camera. Check my review
Onde posso adquiri um módulo pixy 2?
Here: bit.ly/2ZbbuDT
Can it recognise human figures as well?
Pixy can't, openMV can
I also have a maix go board. It is a way more powerful than this one but it is not as easy to program!
I also got the Maix board. It is a very capable and very promicing board. Unfortunately, the software tools available for it are not mature yet. The K210 processor it uses though is revolutionary! I will prepare a video about it when the software is more user friendly. Cheers!
@@Educ8s Could you maybe do one of those arduino benchmarks comparisons of the MAIX boards?
If you need the arduino core, you can find it here! maixduino.sipeed.com/en/get_started/install.html
Great for schools, but much too expensive for individual hobbyists. For $99 you can buy an Nvidia Jetson Nano which is thousands of times more powerful and can use any camera.
I wish it had facial recognition.
It's awesome please give me a link for india
