DFROBOT HUSKYLENS Smart Vision Sensor for Raspberry Pi, LattePanda or Micro:bit | AI Camera Support Object/Line Tracking, Face/Object/Color/Tag Recognition

Perfect small size camera definitely a value for money because of the cover and Extra

This has been my favorite device to mess with for my AI projects. Great buy. Would recommend.

I recently purchased the DFROBOT HUSKYLENS Smart Vision Sensor to experiment with AI vision for some robotics projects. Overall, I've found it to be a powerful and feature-packed device, although not without a few quirks.Pros:+ Supports multiple AI vision functions including object detection, color recognition, face recognition, line tracking, tag recognition, and object tracking+ Built-in display makes it easy to use and test without needing to connect to another device+ Can interface with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, LattePanda and more for integration into projects+ Reasonably priced compared to its capabilitiesCons:- Some users have reported issues with power supply causing visual artifacts, so a clean power source seems important- Documentation and example projects are currently a bit limited, making it harder for beginners to get started- The companion software only supports certain Arduino boards like Uno and Nano- Low resolution camera limits precision, especially for outdoor useOverall, the HUSKYLENS packs an impressive array of AI vision capabilities into an affordable and easy-to-use package. The built-in screen is handy for configuration and testing. However, some limitations around power requirements, software compatibility, and camera quality mean it may not be suitable for every use case. More extensive documentation and example projects from DFRobot would help beginners take full advantage of its potential.While it has a few rough edges, I've found the HUSKYLENS to be a very capable device for the price. It's great for learning and prototyping computer vision applications. With some further refinement and better supporting materials from DFRobot, it could become an even more compelling option in the space. I look forward to seeing what projects the community creates with this powerful little AI camera.

easy to train to detect objects and colours...it just works with minimal fiddling

Very cool

Love to see that the product came very well packed. I’ll still going to test it, but as far as I could see, everything looks fine and easy to setup and use.

There is a tutorial page that walks you through the basics of the DF Robot Husky Lens. The problem is one of the first things you must do is install the CP 210x drivers. I was not able to do so. I checked further and it seems everyone else has the same problem. Go to the DF Robot forum for answers and there is nothing in the form of a response.It is an interesting $55 paperweightI would love for someone to explain to me why I am wrong here and give me a solution to working this unit

For having been on the market for two or so years, there aren’t many projects available to get experience using this sensor. Maybe I was doing something wrong but could not access the six or so projects on the DFRobot HuskyLens website.The built-in software is okay and shows the potential for the sensor but instructions on how to customize the software are lacking.For the price, I rather purchase and use multiple microcontrollers.
