Skittles Sorter
When you only like the orange ones
After learning about 3D-printers, laser cutters, and Arduino microcontrollers, we finished the course “How to Make Almost Anything” by creating a Skittles sorting machine.
The final product is explained in this video on Youtube.

Image 1: Skittles are placed in the bucket on top of the machine.

Image 2: A color sensor determines the color based on preconfigured data ranges.

Image 3: Hatches are opened and closed to guide the falling skittle into the desired chute.

Image 4: The sorted Skittles can be picked up at the end of each chute.
