Pixy CMUcam5 for LEGO Available Exclusively at RobotShop

Camera and Vision sensors are becoming more and more popular lately. People find them useful and incorporate them into all kinds of projects that require vision and image processing. With a good algorithm and a powerful processor, these small jewels of technology can detect colors, shapes, faces and objects. The Pixy CMUcam5 is probably the most famous low cost image sensor. The Pixy succeeds where many other image sensors fail: it is in fact very difficult to use this type of sensor with a single external controller without being completely saturated. This smart camera features a powerful on-board microprocessor (NXP LPC4330, 204MHz, dual core) so that it won't use all of your controllers resources. Therefore, it will send only the useful data via UART, SPI, I2C, USB, digital or analog to your favorite controller like Arduino, Raspberry, BeagleBone Black, etc. With a capability of memorizing 7 colors, this makes it the best way to add eyes to your robot.   With the new Pixy CMUcam5 for LEGO, your LEGO Mindstorms creation will have the ability to see and detect objects. The Pixy LEGO version is still Arduino and Raspberry compatible as the normal version but, connects directly to LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and NXT controller bricks through the supplied cable and smoothly integrates into the LEGO programming environment. Mounting hardware is included in order to make integrating the Pixy with LEGO simple.   The Pixy CMUcam5 Image Sensor for LEGO is available exclusively at RobotShop.
