Anyone know what 'J5' is about on the back of the board? I'm hoping to be able to remove the camera module
and tether one off board.

Whilst the original Pixy was great at object detection, getting the coordinates out was a nightmare though!!!
We tried using it to detect 2 retro-flective markers, and whilst the detection of the markers worked fantastically,
the I2C interface protocol to retrieve the data was so convoluted we eventually gave up since we couldn't do it
reliably.
The biggest issue seemed to be that the data retrieved from I2C was basically a stream with supposed
synchronization markers. You would expect this to be a great system, but the implementation simply didn't work
reliably when trying to handle more than one object in a single video frame. It was also almost as though the
coordinates were cleared out at the start of each video frame, so often you would read block data and it would
return a zero coordinates and/or just flat out get out of sync.
I would really have liked a "capture" command, "status" command and a "retrieve coordinates" command.
I will look through the interface documentation. Hopefully they have moved away from the stream format and/or
made sure that once you start to retrieve a frame set nothing else is updated until you finished.

That's one huge list of countries this can't ship to. Is there a reason for this?

So in general, this is almost meant for use in the autonomous vehicle competition? :)

I was a kickstarter backer of the original Pixy, and they had said face detection was 'coming soon'. As far as I
know, it never happened. Will the pixy2 support face tracking?
