 Objective
• This project aims to sort the object in food
industry using color sensor TCS3200.

• The idendification of color is based on the

frequency analysis from the output of TCS3200.

• The mechanical action is done by using

servomotor.
Components required:
 Arduinouno
 TCS 3200 color sensor
 Servomotors

TCS 3200 color sensor
 Cont..
 It is a color sensor which can detect any
number of colours.
 As shown in figure on microscopic level one
can see the square boxes inside the eye on
sensor.
 These square boxes are arrays of RGB matrix.
Each of these boxes contain three sensors,
One is for sensing RED light intensity, One is
for sensing GREEN light intensity and the last
in for sensing BLUE light intensity.
 Cont..
 Each of sensor arrays in these three arrays
are selected separately depending on the
requirement. Hence it is known
as programmable sensor.
Servomotor:
 Servomotor works on the pulse width
modulation(PWM),which means its angle
of rotation is controlled by the duration
of the pulse.
 Basically it is made up of DC motors
which is controlled by variable resistor
and gears.
Closed loop system of SM:
Cont..
 In industrial type servomotors, the position
feedback sensor is high precision encoder.
 The actual position captured by this devices
is fed back to the error detector where it is
compared to the target position.
 Then according to the error the controller
corrects the actual position of the motor to
match with the target position.
Construction:
 The whole system is constructed on a
cardboard frame and consists of two
bases.
 The top servo motor is mounted on the
second base and the rotatory platform is
linked to the motor.the second base also
has a cut to facilitate the relaese of the
object after sensing its color.
Cont..
 A stationary slider is added under the
second base
 The bottom servomotor is attached to
the main base of the whole system.
Experimental setup view:
Performance test:
 The performance of the each component
was first tested them to the circuit
individually.
 All components are then connected to
the whole system.
 Balls of the red, green and blue color are
fed into chute to test the sorting
capability of the system.
Result:
 The color sorter was able to distinguish
among red ,green and blue colours
successfully.
 Upon sensing the colors the bottom
servomotor rotates to the specific
positions for each color as programmed
in the arduino.
