Description
Everything is getting smarter these days? So why not your trash can?
This trash can opens and closes its lid if it sees any trash in front of it. You just need to bring the trash to it and it will open automatically and will wait for you to feed it. Then after a certain delay it will close automatically. Watch the video to see exactly what it can do.
Included Components
- Arduino Uno R3 compatible board
- Micro servo SG90
- HCSR04 ultrasound sensor
- USB to micro USB cable
- Model trash can
The kit is shipped built and the Arduino Uno already programmed to demonstrate the functionality of the kit.
Challenge Yourself
- Figure out how to write the Arduino program on your own. If you give up (We hope you will not give up), you can purchase the source code of the Arduino sketch ( .ino file).
- Add a sensor to know if the trash can is full (sensor not included with the kit).
- Add a red led to indicate that the trash can is full (led not included with the kit).
