Skittles Dispenser

This project uses an RGB color sensor, activated by a button press, to read color values. Based on the detected color, small servo motors are triggered to dispense Skittles of the corresponding color. The entire system is controlled by an Arduino.

“For this piece, I was tasked with creating a project that used various types of inputs and outputs. I thought it would be interesting to use an RGB color sensor in an unconventional way, which led me to develop this Skittles dispenser. I chose Skittles because of their vibrant colors and the visually engaging interaction they offer.”
