The Pixy Pan and Tilt Mechanism is a dedicated motion platform for the Pixy2.1 smart vision sensor, enabling automated tracking of colored objects. It connects directly to Arduino or Raspberry Pi and is controlled via the included PixyMon software demos.

Features

  • Designed specifically for Pixy2.0/2.1 smart vision cameras for automated object tracking.
  • Provides 135 degrees of pan and tilt motion via two included servomotors for wide-angle coverage.
  • Features a redesigned, smaller, and faster mechanism compared to the original Pixy pan-tilt.
  • Base attaches directly to Arduino or compatible boards using the included stand-offs and hardware.
  • Includes ready-to-run demos for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or standalone operation without a separate microcontroller.

Description

The Pixy Pan and Tilt Mechanism is an essential accessory for the Pixy2.1 vision sensor, transforming it into an active tracking device. This kit includes two durable, laser-cut plastic base pieces and two servos dedicated to the pan and tilt axes, providing smooth and responsive 135-degree motion. The assembly is straightforward, requiring only the included mounting hardware and cable ties.

Once assembled and connected to a Pixy2 camera (sold separately), the mechanism can execute pre-programmed tracking routines via the free PixyMon software. It is designed for direct mounting onto Arduino or other development boards with compatible hole patterns, facilitating rapid integration into robotics, educational, or automation projects without requiring complex mechanical fabrication.

Key Features

  • Redesigned pan-tilt mechanism optimized for the Pixy2.1, offering improved speed and a more compact footprint.
  • Enables automated visual tracking of colored objects, lines, or barcodes detected by the Pixy camera.
  • Direct Arduino-compatible mounting with integrated stand-offs for secure and stable attachment.
  • Includes comprehensive demo code for multiple platforms: Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and standalone operation.
  • All necessary assembly hardware, servos, and rubber feet are included in the kit for complete out-of-box functionality.

Applications

  • Educational robotics and vision tracking projects for students and makers.
  • Object-following robots and autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs).
  • Interactive art installations and automated camera tracking systems.
  • Prototyping automated sorting or quality inspection systems using color detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Pixy2.1 camera included with this pan-tilt mechanism?

No, the Pixy2.1 smart vision camera is sold separately. This kit includes only the mechanical pan-tilt assembly, two servos, and all necessary mounting hardware. You must purchase a Pixy2.0 or Pixy2.1 camera module to use this mechanism for object tracking and vision applications.

What software is needed to control the pan-tilt mechanism with my Pixy camera?

You need the free PixyMon software, which can be downloaded from the official website. It includes demo programs specifically for pan-tilt control. You can run these demos from an Arduino (via the provided library), a Raspberry Pi (using the Python API), or in a standalone mode where the Pixy camera directly controls the servos without an external microcontroller.

How do I connect and power the pan-tilt mechanism?

The two servos connect to the Pixy2 camera's I/O port or to a microcontroller like an Arduino using standard 3-pin servo cables (signal, power, ground). The mechanism itself mounts directly onto an Arduino board using the included stand-offs. Power for the servos is typically supplied through the same 5V source powering your Pixy camera or development board, ensuring your power supply can handle the combined current draw.
