M&M Color Sorter

myminifactory

This Project utilizes an arduino to self sort and organize different colored M&Ms. Using 2 Servo Motors, a TCS3200 Color Sensor, and an Arduino the sorter is able to sort with roughly 95% accuracy. The nozzle can be easily connected to a water bottle when using TPU filament, and by simply moving the water bottle and connector up and down the tube it is easy to get rid of M&M clogs. Below is the Arduino code and parts needed for this project.  Arduino Code Link:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1phzxBdy2Cg-CLz2DhKQp32PZ6yieMrEZGs_wNRjcEtM/edit?usp=sharing    The Parts needed:    Arduino TCS3200 Color Sensor https://usa.banggood.com/GY-31-TCS3200-Color-Sensor-Recognition-Module-Controller-Geekcreit-for-Arduino-products-that-work-with-official-Arduino-boards-p-969201.html?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_organic&gmcCountry=US&utm_content=minha&utm_campaign=minha-usg-pc&currency=USD&cur_warehouse=CN&createTmp=1&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_bgcs&utm_content=frank&utm_campaign=frank-ssc-usg-all-newcustom-ncv90-0420-19cov&ad_id=432153545270&gclid=CjwKCAjwgOGCBhAlEiwA7FUXkrE8P09ydSHqzxUjzpg3mDk5XOekudoT0RVhcaQBaecW8aCSi3q4IRoC6iIQAvD_BwE   Arduino MEGA 2560 https://www.amazon.com/ARDUINO-MEGA-2560-REV3-A000067/dp/B0046AMGW0/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=arduino+mega&qid=1616459528&sr=8-4 Mini Servo Motors https://www.amazon.com/Smraza-Helicopter-Airplane-Control-Arduino/dp/B07L2SF3R4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=Servo+motors&qid=1616459591&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE1VjcxWDlMQjNHSEQmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA0OTgxNTYzVjc1Q1pQQUdQSFRWJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyMDczMDdHUUgxV05ITVVERTQmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl  Jumper Wires https://www.amazon.com/Elegoo-EL-CP-004-Multicolored-Breadboard-arduino/dp/B01EV70C78/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=jumper+wires&qid=1616459807&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExQjlNMkowU1AzUFRMJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTc3ODQ4MTc5TDBPV0JWSldFJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1MzE4NDczTE44VUNWVTFINDhEJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==  4x AA Battery Pack https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075G8XZLM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1    USB Portable Charger for Arduino https://www.amazon.com/mophie-powerstation-External-Universal-Smartphones/dp/B01JCIJJFC/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=rose+gold+portable+charger&qid=1616599949&s=electronics&sr=1-11    M1.7*6 Self Tapping Screws   6 * 37mm Tall Glasses, or 3D Printed M&M Glasses
