Tracking Camera
-
The Pixy2 is a programmable tracking camera.
-
Capable of tracking the position of objects using color, for up to 7 colors.
-
Utilizes software called PixyMon and can be used in tandem with a microcontroller.
-
The camera will be used as feedback to correct shot error.
Setup:
-
The Pixy2 will be mounted on a camera tripod.
-
Positioned in front to cover the entire 7 x 7 game board.
-
Using the code, it will calculate beanbag position based off the relative pixels
Software:
-
Uses software Pixymon to train, lock, and track onto colored objects
-
It will be connected to the Arduino using a SPI connection cable which allows it to transmit data at 2 Megabits/second(Mb/s). High data transfer is needed for the 60FPS camera.
-
It will output the positional data for each bean bag into the Arduino Software
