Aim
The aim of the project is to Monitor the trash level in a bin and receive notifications when it’s full
Problem statement
The system should provide real-time data on bin status, facilitate efficient waste collection schedules, and promote recycling by identifying recyclable materials. The goal is to create an intelligent waste management solution that enhances sustainability, reduces operational costs, and contributes to a cleaner and more environmentally friendly urban environment.
Material used
Input: Ultrasonic sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Smartphone and RGB LED
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
Ultrasonic Sensor
Ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the trash.
Smartphone
Smartphone is used to get the notification message to the waste management authorities when the Trash bin is full.
RGB LED
RGB LED is used to identify whether the trash bin is full or not
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Ultrasonic sensor and control the smartphone and RGB LED
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When the trash is full, Ultrasonic sensor turns ON and sends the signal to the brain board. The brain board sends the message to the Smartphone(Trash is full),RGB LED turns to RED.
Case 2: When the trash is less, Ultrasonic sensor turns OFF and sends the signal to the brain board. The brain board sends the no message to the Smartphone,RGB LED turns to GREEN.
