Description
The Automatic Waste Sorting Bin Kit is a smart environmental project designed to promote waste management automation. Using Arduino control, the system detects the type of waste, whether wet or dry and automatically opens the corresponding compartment for disposal. The ultrasonic sensor detects the presence of waste, while the raindrop module helps identify moisture levels, ensuring efficient sorting.
Key Features
- Smart waste detection: Uses ultrasonic sensing to detect the presence and distance of waste.
- Automatic lid control: Servo motor opens the appropriate bin compartment based on waste type.
- Moisture-based sorting: Raindrop sensor differentiates between wet and dry waste.
- Stable power regulation: Buck converter ensures safe and consistent voltage supply to components.
- Arduino-based control: Simple and programmable system for easy customization and experimentation.
- Eco-learning project: Encourages sustainable practices through practical automation.
