The Trash Save

The trash save is an improvised art project from the Austrian Guy Max.

Circuit Python

Servo

Lightstrip

Box

Wires

Tape

Knive

Toothpicks

Chopsticks

First, I glued some toothpicks at the servo, so that it has a longer angle. Then we glue a lid to the bottom of the box. Third, cut a door into the box and tape the servo to that door, so that it can open and close itself with the rotation. Then tape the light-strip around the box. Fifth, tape the battery pack into the box, and cut a little hole so that you can switch it off and on from the outside.

Then separate the box into two parts. (One part with servo and door, the other part with the wires and bluefruit.

Connect Lightstrip: (Signal = A1, Power=VOUT)

Connect Servo: (Signal = A2, Power= VOUT)

Connect wires to the Tap: (A3 for number 0, A4 for 1, A5 for 2, A6 for 3, TX for 4)

1.) Put a lid on the box

2.) make holes into the lid for the five wires and label them

3.) use some extensions (e.g. chopsticks) for buttons A & B
