Supplies
- Arduino Uno
- NodeMCU
- Ultrasonic Sensor
- Servo Motor
- Dustbin
- Power supply or power bank for Arduino
- Jumper wires
Connect Servo, Limit and Ultrasonic Sensor, and NodeMCU to Arduino
First, use jumper wires to connect servo, limit and ultrasonic sensor, and nodeMCU to Arduino according to the above schematic.
Arduino has no network capability. So, we are using NodeMCU for connecting Arduino to internet and for sending notification to mobile application by telegram.
Uploading Program to Arduino
Connect the arduino and upload the given program on your arduino uno to get notification to out smartphone when the dustbin is full.
Preparing for the Dustbin
Prepare a dustbin and cut a piece of cardboard to make it as the lid. And cut the lid to two pieces and join them again with tape like shown on the picture.
Attach Arduino Uno to the Dustbin
Now place the arduino to the dustbin with the help of tape and move on to the next step as shown in the picture and then move on to the next step. Now, you can connect the arduino to power supply and the smart dustbin can working properly.
