The meter reading in lux.
Light sensor steel marbl e reading.
A motor will start to rotate and cause a rod to push the marble up the backward slant and onto another slant that is slanted downward the marble will then go down both slants and stop at a gate when it stops a line follower or light sensor will activate and detect what color.
The bins are on motors that swing them out of the way or in the way to catch the marble that goes in that bin.
Plan 1 was to have a giant funnel at the top of the machine and you would drop the marble into it.
However i realized this design would have many difficulties in the building and coding.
The marbles would then be dispensed onto the conveyor belt which would move the marble underneath the light sensor.
This one shows the response of a max44009 ambient light sensor.
Sensors rated ip69k are ideal for these environments as they have been tested to ensure reliable operation even when subjected to frequent cleaning.
Servo powered lever b is used as a stopping device 4.
The entire infrared component is radiated back and no incident light is being reflected.
Conveyer belt moves according to light sensor reading to make the marble go in the correct container.
Included are four channels for a quick and easy way to add vernier sensors without external wiring or signal conditioning.
Data sheets for most ambient light sensors include a graph of typical light sensitivity vs.
The idea goes like this a tube as the hopper with 2 gaters a slight incline to the light sensor to get the light reading and then the bottom of the sensor station drops out in the designated bin.
The clear would go to the other side into a bin.
A rugged stainless steel sensor is a popular choice and in some applications a sensor made with food grade materials may be required.
Then a platform would catch marbles.
Line follower releases new marble via servo powered lever a when marble is detected 5.
Wood and steel would go to one side of the conveyor belt and a magnet would seperate the steel from the wood.
After this a magnet would drop down picking up the steel marbles and moving them to a container.
Our psuedo code is at the bottom right.
Once the light sensor got a reading from the marble the 3 arm marble catch which consisted of 3 poles with buckets at the end extending from a motor would move to one of three positions the correct bin for the colored marble.
Materials that are not perfect emitters reflect a portion of incident light.
After that a light would shine on the marbles witch would give a reading through light sensor.
The sensordaq interface is perfect for teaching ni labview or for building sensor control student projects using ni labview software.
Brainstorm idea first the marbles will be placed into the hopper which will feed the marbles into a backward slant.
When the light sensor got a reading it would send the conveyor either left or right.
Light sensor detects shade color of marble triggering conveyer belt 3.
Emissivity is also closely related to absorption and reflection of light.
