Abstract

Resistors are the most used components in electronic circuit during laboratory session. However, this electrical component usually left unorganized and the resistor mixed with other resistor that has different value. Thus, this has caused problems for the lab assistant as the resistor need to be store properly before another group of students when into the laboratory. It is a time-consuming process for the lab assistant as the resistor need to be check and store according to its value. Moreover, the use of more manpower needed to sort the resistor in a short time. Therefore, with the development of resistor sorting machine, all the laboratory users can save their time and reduce energy consumption to store the resistor systematically. In order to fulfil the requirement of this project, image processing method was used to detects the colour code of the resistor. Pixy2 camera used as the sensor which performs the task of detecting resistor values based on colour code. For the brain of the system, Aduino Uno was used to process the control condition. Servo 1, Servo 2, LED and LCD will be controlled by Arduino Uno to perform segregation task. The result shows that it takes less time for the system to sort the resistor compared doing it manually with multimeter. From the data gathered, this machine proves to be efficient as it takes less time to sort the resistor compared to manually sort by human.
