DIY Arduino Based Color Sorter Machine using TCS3200 Color Sensor As the name suggests, color sorting is simply to sort the things according to their color. It can be easily done by seeing it but when there are too many things to be sorted and it is a repetitive task then automatic color sorting machines are very useful. These machines have color sensor to sense the color of any objects and after detecting the color servo motor grab… |
