User Guide – SPIKE

Usage Instructions

Since the vision module emulates a color sensor, it is read-only. This means that you can only use the built-in color sensor blocks in SPIKE to read values from the vision module. Mode switching must be done manually on the vision module itself.

The output values of the vision module in different modes correspond directly to the values of the SPIKE color sensor. For detailed mapping, please refer to the SPIKE Compatibility Mode section.

After completing the above steps, connect the vision module to the SPIKE Prime hub. The hub will detect the module as a color sensor, as shown in the figure below:

Color Recognition

  1. Switch the vision module to Color Recognition Mode.

  2. Read the R value of the detected color from the vision module and display it on the SPIKE Prime hub.

Color Block Tracking

  1. Switch the vision module to Color Block Tracking Mode.

  2. If a color block is detected, the x-coordinate of the block will be displayed on the SPIKE Prime hub; otherwise, N will be shown.

Tag Recognition

  1. Switch the vision module to Tag Recognition Mode.

  2. If a tag is detected, the Tag ID will be displayed on the SPIKE Prime hub; otherwise, N will be shown.

Line Recognition

  1. Switch the vision module to Line Recognition Mode.

  2. If a line is detected, the X-coordinate of the line will be displayed on the SPIKE Prime hub; otherwise, N will be shown.

20-Class Object Recognition

  1. Switch the vision module to 20-Class Object Recognition Mode.

  2. If an object is detected, its ID will be displayed on the SPIKE Prime hub; otherwise, N will be shown.

QR Code Recognition

  1. Switch the vision module to QR Code Recognition Mode.

  2. If a QR code is detected, its X coordinate will be displayed on the SPIKE Prime hub; otherwise, N will be shown.

Face Attribute Recognition

  1. Switch the vision module to Face Attribute Recognition Mode.

  2. If no face is detected, the SPIKE Prime hub will display N.

  3. If a face is detected: Open mouth → o Closed mouth → -

Face Recognition

  1. Switch the vision module to Face Recognition Mode.

  2. Manually control the module to learn faces.

  3. If no learned face is recognized, the SPIKE Prime hub will display N.

  4. If a learned face is recognized, the hub will display the X-coordinate of the detected face.

Deep Learning

  1. Switch the vision module to Deep Learning Mode.

  2. Manually control the module to perform deep learning training.

  3. If no object is recognized, the SPIKE Prime hub will display N.

  4. If an object is recognized, the hub will display the corresponding ID.

Road Sign Recognition

  1. Switch the vision module to Road Sign Recognition Mode.

  2. If no road sign is recognized, the SPIKE Prime hub will display N.

  3. If a road sign is recognized, the hub will display the corresponding road sign ID.
