13.2.7. Wrap up

That is OpenMV Viewer: connect a camera, run a product’s script, and watch its frame buffer, serial output, and histogram live – the parts of OpenMV IDE that show what a camera is doing, with the development tools taken away. It is the application to reach for when the job is to present a finished OpenMV product rather than build one.

When you do need to change the application – edit the script, tune a threshold, retrain a model, adjust settings – reach for the full OpenMV IDE. The two install side by side, so a development machine can carry both: build in the IDE, demonstrate in the Viewer.
