Arduino Based Resistor Reel Cutting Machine
Most advanced electronics PCB assembly lines have pick and place machines to pick components from an SMD reel and place it on a PCB. But this is not possible when you are doing medium-scale production or using THT (through-hole type) components on your PCB. This scenario holds true, in most low-cost board assemblies like LED drivers, transformerless power supplies, etc. In order to help speed up this assembly process and prepare the required number of components we have built this Arduino Based Resistor Cutting Machine.
