Week 1
Background and inspiration Our project CANDI (Candy Allocation & Notation Dispensing interface), aims to sort skittles into containers by using a colour sensor that detects RGB values of the candy and then dispenses coloured candy based on the facial expression of the person in front of the camera. The camera detects the facial expression of the person in front of the machine and dispenses coloured candy based on the emotion, i.e., angry = red. We first decided to integrate the Raspberry pi and the Arduino to work coherently, but after some time its been decided that it would be better if each board is independent. The Raspberry pi would be in charge of the emotion detection and move the motor based on the emotion that is most dominant, whereas the Arduino is responsible for the sorting of the skittles. Week 1 objectives: Finalize the 3D design model. Write code for Candy sorting. Write code for Emotion detection. Write code for Dispensing. Test the ind...
