How many megapixels does this camera have?

Hi! This is sort of an odd question to ask about Pixy2, since the color connected components (image tracking) algorithm it runs makes the effective resolution of the camera much lower than the actual image sensor specs. The image sensor is 1.2 megapixel, but the output of the CCC algorithm is effectively much less (like .06 megapixel). Hope this helps!

Can this device recognize and follow my dog as he walks on my grass covered backyard?

It can recognize specified colors but not specified shapes that aren't color codes. So it can very likely see your dog but may also pick up other things that are similar to the color of your dog. There are filtering options in the software that may work for your situation like filtering out objects smaller than a by b size for example.

Can you programmatically teach it objects, or is it push button only?

You can teach objects using PixyMon software, or button press method, but either way you need to manually teach Pixy2 colors in order for it to track objects. Or, it can track lines automatically using the line following mode.

Can I use python 3.7 with camera?

I have only used this camera connected to an arduino using the arduino IDE. It’s very simple to use that way. According to their documentation, you can also use a raspberry pi and download pixy libraries. All of the pixy libraries are in c++, so to call them from python you would have to know how to use “extern c”. I have never done that, so I cannot speak to how difficult it is.
