The goal of this project is to automatically sort resistors in 66 different tubes, 60 tubes for the E12-series: 10, 12, 15, 18, 22, 27, 33, 39, 47, 56, 68, 82 ohm and six tubes for unknown and out of category resistors. It will be controlled by a PICAXE 28X1 chip. To measure the resistance a voltage divider is read with ADC by the picaxe chip (different compare-resistors is connected with relays: 100Ω,1kΩ,10kΩ,100kΩ,1MΩ). A belt drive will feed the resistors and a servo will hold them while measuring.
Great Project! Great Project! I can’t wait to see how you put this all together. I could have used something like this a while back when I purchased an assortment of a couple thousand resistors and about went crosseyed checking color codes. My wife is still pissed off on that “project”. Good luck.
Very interesting! I Very interesting! I thought about similar device which contains a huge amount of resistors, capacitors, etc. and deliver to you component with nominal you entered in keyboard. Would be a good thing for lazy geeks…
That would be cool, Maybe you could make a similar design and let the resistors fall out underneath when you needed them - and add a second row (or more) for other components.
I believe we should have more actual applications robots here, ofcorse it is a natural tendency to want to do a ROV but give it a purpose like this youknow…
Heck if it only sorted the wash or vacumed the floor let the cost of the build do something right?
