 TCS230 is a simple colour sensor from Parallax and they’ve finally found the ultimate usage for it. To sort you M&M’s! Just imagine the possibilities to serve sorted candy when having friends over for the Friday night movie… Well, what it comes down to is that they have this available in several different kits starting with the frame and then growing to contain the micro controller and the sensors. What they won’t give you is the software and initially they held a contest of who could write the best source code for it. The winner got $300 cash and $200 worth of software.
