Lego Bricks Colour Sorting Machine (Software)

Abstract

vii ABSTRACT Lego Brick Color Sorting Machine is a fully automated sorting machine made up of simple parts that are easily replaceable. The idea is the machine will automatically start and begin sorting Lego brick after we put a Lego brick into the feeder slot. The object will be defined by determining color of the Lego brick while the system will figure out which location the brick should be located. With the Arduino Mega as a controller for the system, a manually feed the object which is a coloring Lego brick will determined by the machine to take them to their exact location or designated bin. In this project we will use pixy sensor. The function of pixy sensor has capability to choose base on their color. There are eight locations at the designated bins. We will sort the Lego brick colour sorting into seven colour and one rejection. The Lego brick will be inserting manually by the use inside the feeder slot. Then the pixy sensor will detect color of the object, and then a microcontroller would be used to read the Lego brick. By using this pixy sensor in conjunction with the microcontroller, sorting Lego brick would be quick and efficient the decision will be made by servo motor.
