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 NXP 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.

PIC microcontroller led flasher circuit using PIC16F627A

Posted: 01 Oct 2015 07:24 PM PDT

This is microcontroller led flasher circuit using PIC16F627A as first PIC microcontroller learning of mine son. it is basic for really beginner. Important issue,we have to make The PIC micro controller is easier. Children 8 years old, he does not understand the computer language at all. My friends say that children should not play computer. He should try to build a lot of real electronic projects. I avoid to teach computer programming. It is difficult and tedious for him. Thus, We start learning the micro controller with creating the one LED Flasher circuit using PIC16F627A. It is a very simple circuit. In the past, I’ve recommended his son play Dual LED Flasher. by 2N2907 The circuit diagram First of all,
