Pixy is a smart vision sensor for DIY robotics. It handles the heavy lifting of image processing via a dedicated processor, leaving your microcontroller free for other tasks. Check out Charmed Labs for all the details

• Robot vision made easy - press the button to teach Pixy an object.
• Simplify your programming - receive just the objects you're interested in.
• Use whatever controller you want - includes software libraries for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone Black.
• Communicates via one of several interfaces: SPI, I2C, UART, USB or analog/digital output
• Configuration utility runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux

The pan/tilt mechanism makes a great “hello world” for Pixy (no Arduino required). We created this kit specifically for Pixy – it provides two axes of movement, which can help Pixy track objects outside its field of vision. The kit includes: - two servomotors - custom acrylic base - FOUR rubber feet! - all necessary hardware

It’s pretty simple to put together, and the Pan/Tilt program is built into PixyMon already! So you can be up and running quickly.

I bought this from the Kickstarter. I recently moved so I no longer have the lab space so hoping to find a new home for it.
