Dispensing Module

Development

The initial plan to feed the resistors into the evaluation module was to use an arm to pick them up and place them into the next mode. This would allow for more modules to be added for more capability. Due to the initial tests of the camera capabilities from the evaluation module this feeding method needed to change. One posable solution was to individually dispense each resistor out of a cartridge. the inspiration for this was a PEZ dispenser.

With a quick test, complications quickly presented themselves. To reduce the number of complications the design was switched to a conveyor cartridge.
