Arduino Colour Sorter Kit: Build Your Own Automatic Sorting Machine

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Watch as objects roll down a ramp, a colour sensor identifies them, and a servo arm nudges them into the correct bin. This project turns a common industrial automation concept into a tangible, tabletop machine that sparks curiosity in coding, electronics, and logical thinking. From cereal pieces to craft pom-poms, anything red, green, or blue becomes part of the sorting challenge.

What You'll Build

A fully functional sorting machine that identifies red, green, and blue objects and physically separates them into three collection bins. The TCS3200 colour sensor reads RGB values, the Arduino processes the data, and the SG90 servo rotates to precise angles to guide each item. It is a satisfying, real-world project that demonstrates how machines perceive colour.

What You'll Learn

• Interfacing a TCS3200 colour sensor with Arduino and calibrating RGB thresholds
• Controlling a servo motor to specific angular positions for precise bin alignment
• Writing conditional logic in Arduino IDE for colour-based decision making
• Assembling a stable mechanical sorting chute and sensor housing on a breadboard

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Students in CBSE Class 11-12 exploring sensor-based applications will find this a perfect curriculum-aligned mini-project. B.Tech ECE and EEE first-year students can use it for basic automation lab work. It is also ideal for ATL Tinkering Labs and hobby clubs in IIT, NIT, VIT, and BITS campuses where quick, functional prototypes are needed for demonstrations.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
