Hi i am a beginner.. For the pyrhon code below it does colour and object detection.. how do i add shape detection to it?? i mean i want to detect color and shape of the object and get the centroid.. My aim.. Plz help.. thanks in advance..

read the procedure from where you are referring once again carefully! you'll get it write!

Nope! I have added the .cpp and .h files into the project directory, if i don't add them i get an error saying that these files are missing! and after adding them i get this mind boggling error!

TSerial is not a library, so i'm not able to link it, it's just a .cpp file!
