IR Sensor Based Automatic Dustbin

Hello Everyone I Am Pradhumya

Today I Have Made An Automatic IR Sensor Dustbin

Components Required :-

• IR Sensor
• Cardboard
• Servo Motor
• Arduino UNO
• Dustbin

1.First take a cardboard and cut it according to the dustbin's dimension and size to make a lid.

2.Cut the lid in to 2 halves , then join Them Together with tape on the upper side. to use it as a hinge

Advise :-

Use thin but stiff cardboard to cut lid easily and get good finishing.

1.Now fix the one half of the lid to the dustbin's mouth

(Note:- Don't fix the both halves to the dustbin otherwise lid wont open)

We Have Built The Structure and it's time to make the circuit

You can see the above circuit image , It has been kept at backside of the dustbin and not visible from front.

Now attach the IR sensor on movable half of the lid.

First put the servo on lid's half which is not movable.

make a hole on movable half of the lid, Connect a thick copper wire to the gear of the servo and attach the movable lid with wire through the hole and tie a bolt at the end of the wire
