Pattern
The Pickit Pattern engine is similar as the Flex detection engine. Pattern looks for predefined sized objects(rectangles, squares, circles,..). This allows the Pattern detection engine to solve applications beyond the limits of the Flex detection engine. A typical example is touching aluminum blocks, see image below.
