Devlog #04

Project: LEGO Sorter App

Overview

This update focuses on optimizing the carousel simulation and implementing a collision avoidance system.

Progress Update

After troubleshooting various joint configurations that did not perform as expected, I pivoted to using transform-based simulation for the carousel. I also implemented a safety system: if a brick is detected in the fall range of another C-channel, that specific channel will pause its movement to prevent jams. This ensures that bricks are handled one at a time.

Next Steps

Implement image capturing of the carousel using OpenCV.

Integrate the Brickognize API to identify the LEGO bricks.
