Smart Dustbin using Arduino Ultrasonic Sensor & Servo Motor Projects

In this article, we will learn how to make Smart Dustbin using Arduino Ultrasonic Sensor & Servo Motor Projects.

In the last post, we learned how to make Self balancing robot using arduino with wifi control system.

Components Required:

1. Arduino Uno
2. Ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04)
3. Servo motor
4. Dustbin
5. Breadboard
6. Jumper wires

Circuit connections:

• Connect the VCC pin of Sensor (HC-SR04) to the 5V pin on the Arduino.
• Connect GND pin of sensor (HC-SR04) to the GND pin on the Arduino.
• Connect TRIG pin of sensor (HC-SR04) to digital pin 2 on the Arduino.
• Connect ECHO pin of sensor (HC-SR04) to digital pin 3 on the Arduino.
• Connect the VCC pin of servo motor to the 5V pin on the Arduino.
• Connect the GND pin of servo motor to the GND pin on the Arduino.
• Connect the Signal pin of servo motor to pin 9 on the Arduino.

Working:

Smart dustbin using an Arduino, an ultrasonic sensor, and a servo motor works by detecting the presence of an object (like trash) using the ultrasonic sensor.

The ultrasonic sensor helps the Arduino detect the proximity of an object, and the Arduino, based on the programmed instructions, controls the servo motor to open and close the dustbin’s lid, providing a hands-free and automated way of disposing of trash.

Usages:

The smart dustbin created using an Arduino, ultrasonic sensor, and servo motor has several potential usages.

Some of them are below:

1. Hands-Free Trash Disposal:
2. Hygienic Solution:
3. Efficient Waste Management:
4. Educational Purpose:
5. Smart Home Integration:
