Contributed By - Yashdeep Thorat

Aim

To make a dustbin that will open when you hover your hand over it.

Requirements

  • Arduino Uno
  • HC-SR04 Ultrasound Sensor
  • Servo motor (operating voltage: 6V DC , torque: 3.5 Kg.cm)
  • Battery (12V 3AH)
  • Jumper Cables
  • A foot pedal Dustbin
  • Breadboard

Details

The ultrasound sensor is connected to the front of the dustbin and the servo is attached to a lever in the back which is a part of the foot pedal mechanism. A code is uploaded into the arduino which is used to accept inputs from the ultrasound sensor and direct the movements of the servo. The arduino is powered by the battery.
