The Pixy2.1 CMUcam5 is the second version of Pixy. It's faster, smaller, and more capable than the original Pixy, adding line tracking/following algorithms as well as other features. Pixy2.1 CMUcam5 can detect lines, intersections and small barcodes, intended for line-following robots. RoboticsBD
The small, fast, easy-to-use, low-cost, readily-available vision system. Able to learn to detect objects that you teach it. Compatible with Arduino using the included cable. Also works with Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone and similar controllers. All libraries for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc. are provided. Featured By RoboticsBD.

The Pixy 2.1 camera isn't designed for high-quality photography. Its primary function is object recognition through its camera, so the images it captures might have a retro feel rather than the crispness of modern photography.
