Rubik Cube Solver

This Rubik cube solver has been assembled with parts from the well known FAC system. More info here http://meccanokinematics.net/fac-cube-solver/ and below.

FAC system is a modular system developed in the early 1950's by the gifted Swedish artist Mark Sylwan.

The heart of this stand alone machine is built up from a Raspberry Pi Compute Module in combination with an Arduino Mini. The scanner is assembled from 3 modified Colorpal colorsensors.

For the second generation solver (4 gripper solver) we are going to use the Pi camera in stead of the afore mentioned Colorpal's. For the solving part we used part of the Kociemba algoritm.

In the meantime we have built a Meccano equivalent of the 3 gripper solver as well. It can be found on following youtube link:

This project has been described in more detail on the following site: http://meccanokinematics.net

Today, the FAC system is still for sale. The official FAC system website is here: http://www.facsystem.se/default_eng.asp
