SMART TRASH BIN LID
My trash bin does not have any lid on and I wanted to make a smart lid to it. I have laser cut to pieces and connected them to each other using a string and attached one of them to a motor located on the other side. The end goal for this project was to have a trash bin lid that opens without me touching anything and closes after a certain time and this is what I made.
At the end of the page I am attaching my code that I used for Arduino Uno.
The hardware and software I used:
Arduino IDE
C++
Arduino Uno
Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
SparkFun H-Bridge
Stepper Motor
