BeadSorter

Nice to have you here. In this repository I keep the files that are necessary for the BeadSorter. Also there will be documentation about the needed electronics and software. I will update this repo continuously.

These are Projects necessary for this beadsorter to work.

Parts List

You'll need electronic parts for this bead sorter. This is alist of what i used in this project. I belive some components can be substituted.

Electronics Schema

I know, this isn't nice looking. This whole thing is powered by a 12V power supply. I used a 9VA; That thing doesnt requiere a lot of current.
