Setting up the PixyCam2

The PixyCam2 (or just Pixy) is a camera with built-in object recognition.

Installing Pixymon

The software that configures this object recognition (Pixymon) needs to be downloaded to a computer. The download page is here -- if that doesn't work, just do a web search for Pixymon and it'll probably be the first page.

Further instructions can be found in the "installation docs" underneath the download links on the page above.
