Resistor sorter
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.
This is still in construction.
