The M Sorter is a robotic mechanism that, when equipped with a TAOS color sensor and a properly programmed BASIC Stamp® microcontroller, will sort M&Ms (tm) by color. We received such a strong response from this project when it was presented as an application in the 2003 Product Catalog. Due to the ensuing excitement and fun that we had in working with the project, we knew that we had to make it available for our customers. Imagine setting this on your desk at work or in the rec room at home! It's quite the crowd pleaser and provides an excellent demo of a microcontroller and sensor at work. On a larger and more industrial scale, this same technology is at use in factories all over the world
Lovers of green M&M's rejoice!
