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
Your blog post and description in the store both refer to “NXP controller bricks”. Is this supposed to be “NXT”? Will this also work with the NXT Mindstorms? Thanks for the clarification.
I dug a little deeper and found the answer. According to this Wiki page, you can use an NXT brick, but you have to use the EV3 software to program it.

One more question: the wiki specifically refers to the Home edition of the EV3 software. I assume this will also work with the Educational version, correct? Thanks.
@DennyMo The Pixy CMUcam5 for Lego is compatible with the NXT Controller using the included cable. We just corrected the blog post and the description. We thank you for bringing the grammatical error to our attention.
@DennyMo We have contacted the manufacturer and here is their answer :
Pixy works with the EV3 Educational version as well as NXT controller. The older NXT software is not compatible though. If you wish to use the NXT controller, you must use the newer EV3 environment.
Dear pixy team!
I recently bought the lego version of pixy cmucam5 which is a really nice stuff! Nevertheless after downloading the latest version of the lego programming block for my ev3 Brick and trying to play with color codes I recognized a strange thing:
After arranging four small lego bricks with different colors to a color code like in the tutorial, pixy-mon showed me as expected a color code of s=1234. Testing the lego block in the ev3 environment the same color code was shown. But after re-arranging the small
lego pieces to the order for example 2134 the output of the lego block was different from the correct output of the pixy-mon which was 2134. I also got same strange behavior of the lego block with a color code of 3 lego pieces after rearranging to the order 213 when the lego block was giving me the output -164.
My question is, if there could be a bug in the lego programming block, or is there something I missed? - Maybe please try this for yourself!
Sorry for my bad english but I hope you understand me anyway and maybe can help me.
Thanks in advance and many greetings from Austria,
Herbert
@Herbert Kreuzer We have contacted the manufacturer and they confirmed that they’ll look into this. We will contact you as soon as we obtain an answer.
@Herbert Kreuzer The manufacturer said that they have sent you an upgraded software block that will fix this issue. We will post this updated block on the product’s page on our website once we receive a confirmation that it fixes the problem.
Thank you for reporting this issue.
hi i’m a student in university and i want to make robot for harvesting .i have so many problems with it and my professor cant help it .what should i do?
thanks
@hossein See if any other teachers are in a position to provide some advice, but you will need to go to them with specific questions. If the robot is part of a course, can you get advisers? You will likely need to start doing some research.
Its amazing. Thanks for the article.
