Abstract. This project focuses on the design and implementation of an automated color sorting machine utilizing Arduino microcontroller and servo motors. The system integrates several key components, including a TCS3200 color sensor for color detection and multiple servo motors for precise movement of objects. Designed using AutoCAD software, the project encompasses the creation of 3D printed and CNC machined parts, facilitating the construction of the mechanical structure. The electronic circuit involves connecting the color sensor and servo motors to the Arduino, which processes the color data and controls the motors to sort objects into designated bins based on their colors. The programming is executed using Arduino IDE, which is based on C++. The system’s functionality is enhanced through
careful calibration and optimization, ensuring high accuracy and efficiency. The machine is designed for applications in various industries, such as agriculture, food, and recycling, where color-based sorting is essential. This chapter delves into the detailed design process, electronic circuit connection, component integration, and operational workflow of the color sorting machine, demonstrating its potential for real-time and automated sorting tasks.
