If you like to dig through your bag of skittles to eat all of one color before moving on to the next this Skittles Sorting Machine might be just for you. It uses a BASIC Stamp 2 to control the system. A few sensors and actuators get the job of sorting done. The main thing at work here is a TAOS color sensor, this sensor allows the stamp to determine what type of skittle it is looking at. There is always some issue that crops up in a project like this and the creator mentions that dealing with the white “S” that is printed on one side of the Skittle made it hard to differentiate between a few colors.
Thanks for the tip Jeff.
