Pixy Pet wont track an object
Pixy Pet tracks best if the object is a bright saturated color. It also helps if there are not a lot of similarly colored things in the environment to distract your Pixy.
Pixy Pet loses the tracked object - even when it is right in front of it.
Pixy Pet performs best in a brightly lit area. Check with PixyMon to make sure that Pixy recognizes the object well and re-teach that color signature if necessary.
Sometimes, moving to an area with different lighting (e.g. daylight vs. flourescent) can change the color appearance and confuse Pixy.
