Abstract

Resistors are the most commonly used components in electronic circuit during laboratories session. However, these resistors are often in an unproper state and mix up with different values. Due to this, student and lab assistant need to check first the required resistor value before start lab session. This problem increases the time and burden to all people involve. Hence this project proposed to develop a resistor sorting machine prototype to sort resistor automatically by measuring resistor range using Arduino. To fulfill the requirement of the project, Ohm meter method are use in this project by using three servos to check the value of the resistor and arrange the resistor in the correct container automatically. The value of the resistor placed on the handle will be compared to the value set in the Arduino IDE to get the result and ensure the resistor falls to the correct container by rotating the container using servo three to stop under the handle and servo one opens to ensure the resistor falls. Servo two is constantly moving to hold the resistor tightly to ensure the measured value is accurate to the actual value. The result show that this project manages to sort the resistor but this machine have to use the known resistor closest to the value of resistor that need to be sort. This system will provide efficiency and reliability that will play an important role for better care.
