Helios Setup (Titan Two)¶
This guide walks you through configuring Helios for Cosmic Vision, setting the correct Python environment, selecting your capture card, and loading your Python script.
You Still Need Gtuner
Helios does not install or manage Titan Two memory slots.
You must still follow Step 4 in the Gtuner Setup Guide to load the Cosmic Vision GPC file onto your Titan Two.
After that, Helios will run the Python script and send inputs through Titan Two.
Requirements
Before starting, make sure you have downloaded and installed all required programs and environments in the Installation Guide
1. Open Helios¶
Launch Helios.
Note
When launching Helios, ensure Gtuner or other Titan Two applications are closed for proper functionality.
2. Set Helios Layout¶
- Open Helios
- Go to Tools → Preferences → Appearance → Layout
- Select Titan
This configures Helios to operate correctly with Titan Two devices.
3. Set Your Python Environment¶
- Go to Tools → Preferences → Python
- Click Search System
- In the dropdown, select the environment named:
cosmic_env
(Created by the Cosmic Environment Installer) - Press OK
Note
If the environment does not appear, ensure you have run the Cosmic Environment Installer, then reopen Helios.
4. Configure Your Capture Card¶
- Locate the OpenCV Capture panel
- Under the Capture Source section, select your capture card from the list
- Under Settings, set:
- Frame Rate: 60 FPS
- Resolution: 1080p
This ensures Vision receives clean, accurate frames from your capture device.
Note
If your capture card does not appear, please make sure it is connected correctly following the System Setup Guide.
5. Select the Vision Script¶
- Locate the CV Python panel
- Under the Python Script (.py) section, click the three dots ( … )
- Navigate to your extracted Cosmic Vision folder
- Select:
cosmicv_run.py
This is the main script file used by Cosmic Vision.
6. How to Run Cosmic Vision in Helios¶
Helios requires a specific startup order:
- Start Capture Card under OpenCV Capture (Start Video)
- Start under CV Python Control (Start Script)
Upon first run:
- A login window appears
- Enter your Discord ID (not your username)
How to Find Your Discord ID
Your Discord ID is a numeric value.

7. Titan Two Script Reminder¶
Even when using Helios:
- You must load the Cosmic Vision GPC script onto your Titan Two using Gtuner
- You must select the correct Titan Two slot inside Helios
- If you experience any issues with Titan Two connection on Helios, you can use the Restart Bridge button on the right side of your screen
Refer back to: Step 4 in the Gtuner Setup Guide
8. Learn Cosmic Vision¶
Once Helios shows your capture card and Vision starts cleanly, proceed to:
