#### Sample Program

#### Threshold

Threshold affects the detection rate, testing and fine tuning the value is needed for achieving the best results.

A higher threshold value decreases interference and noise, but detection difficulty increases at the same time, please trial and fine tune for different scenarios.

### Program Flow

Download the program to Micro:bit, then press A on the Micro:bit.

The coordinates and dimenions of the rectangle are shown on the KOI.

### Advanced Program

The information becomes more easily readable if we add an OLED screen.

#### Connecting an OLED

Connect an OLED panel to the I2C port of your Robotbit/Armourbit.

### FAQ

#### 1: There is no reaction after pressing the buttons on the Micro:bit.

· A: This is because KOI has a longer boot time than Micro:bit. When the power is turned on, Micro:bit has already ran the code for KOI initialization before KOI is ready.

· Solution: Reset your Micro:bit after KOI has been turned on. (The trick is to let KOI power on completely before initialization.)

#### 2: Does KOI work with 3V input?

· A: No, KOI only works with 5V.

#### 3: How do I improve detection rate?

· Adjust the threshold value.

· Keep a clean background.

· Make sure the rectangle has a sharp outline.
