From the project

EW202 RP2040 pico PixyCam5 Interface PCB

This PCB uses a Raspberry Pie RP2040 Pico microcontroller to interface with a PixyCam5 camera through an SPI interface to track a color object using a dual servo pan and tilt platform. There are also two potentiometers for a manual control of the servos. This board is used in the WRC department at the US Naval Academy in support of the EW202 principles of Mechatronics course.
