I'll show you how to build a super simple Skittle sorting machine using 3mm thick cardboard and an Arduino Nano. π More info below π
Using a colour sensor and two servos, this cardboard colour sorter is a great educational build and a shortcut to finding the best Skittles (red ones obviously!)
Electromaker sell a kit which includes all the electronic components you'll need to assemble this project. Find it, the code, CAD files, and my full written guide over on their site: https://www.electromaker.io/kits/arduino-skittle-sorter-machine-guide
#####. The downloads are temporarily not working, for now you can find the code and printable templates here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rr-T1UBnACQGAZOu9dM6dTtT4fEOPN6n?usp=sharing. The rest of the guide, electronics, BOM etc are still available on Electromakers website. #####
You can also find some other kits I worked on with them at their online shop: https://www.electromaker.io/shop
These are some of my favorite tools I use and can recommend: β Battery-powered glue gun: http://geni.us/BoschBatteryGlueGun β Bosch Bit Driver: https://geni.us/Bosch-Screwdriver
I use a Prusa MK3S for my projects and highly recommend both it and the Prusa Mini. If I inspired you to take up 3D printing please consider purchasing a printer via this link: http://shop.prusa3d.com/#a_aid=diymachines
