Nice article thanks for share....
Sr Karthiga9y ago
Thank you sir but i did not use the battery in this smart can i use direct current from the Ac current...

This is very cool. What I hate about smart cans is, it doesn't know when their battery is dead. I think it will be cool to figure out battery life left for a can and warn me.

  At that time we want to figure out the battery life what u have say sir it also good idea and we it warm us from the smart can

  Thank you sir but i did not use the battery in this smart can i use direct current from the Ac current...

  OK but what happens when there is no power :). I've a smart can that has batteries.

Introduction

In this article, I will explain the concept of an IoT based smart trash can. It will automatically open when we take waste to it; and when it is full, a light will come on automatically

Parts Of List

Hardware Parts

Arduino Uno
UltraSonic Sensor-2
Servo motor
LED
Buzzer
Bread Board
HookUp wires.

Software Parts

Arduino IDE.

Parts Explanation

UltraSonic Sensor

It is used to produce a high-frequency sound effect.
It can measure the signal from the sender to the receiver.
The echo is to be determined from the object.

Figure1 UltraSonic Sensor.

ServoMotor

It is small and cost-effective.
It is used for small robotics and radio controls.

Figure 2 ServoMotor

Buzzer

A buzzer is a sound maker which can alert you to a problem
Then in the buzzer which can have the gnd and vcc

Figure 2 Buzzer

Connection

Step 1 UltraSonic Sensor-1 to Arduino

Connect the Vcc of the Ultrasonic Sensor to the 5v of the Arduino Uno.
Connect the Gnd of the Ultrasonic Sensor to the Gnd of the Arduino Uno.
Connect the First Trigger of the Ultrasonic Sensor to the 5 of the digital Input in the Arduino Uno.
Connect the First Echo of the Ultrasonic Sensor to the 4 of the digital Input in the Arduino Uno.

Step 2 UltraSonic Sensor-2 to Arduino

Connect the Vcc of the Ultrasonic Sensor to the 5v of the Arduino Uno.
Connect the Gnd of the Ultrasonic Sensor to the Gnd of the Arduino Uno.
Connect the First Trigger of the Ultrasonic Sensor to the 7 of the digital Input in the Arduino Uno.
Connect the First Echo of the Ultrasonic Sensor to the 6 of the digital Input in the Arduino Uno.

Step 3 Servo Motor To Arduino

Connect the Vcc of the ServoMotor to the 5v of the Arduino Uno and also connect the vcc in the 8th pin of the Arduino.
Connect the Gnd of the ServoMotor to the Gnd of the Arduino Uno.

Step 4 Buzzer To Arduino

Connect the Vin of the buzzer to the 2 of the Arduino Uno.
Connect the Gnd of the buzzer to the Gnd of the Arduino Uno.

Step 5 Led To Arduino

Connect the Led1 to Negative pin to the Arduino Uno
Connect the Led1 to positive pin 8 to the Arduino Uno
Connect the Led2 to Negative pin to the Arduino Uno
Connect the Led2 to positive pin 9 to the Arduino Uno
Connect the Led3 to Negative pin to the Arduino Uno
Connect the Led3 to positive pin 10 to the Arduino Uno
Connect the Led4 to Negative pin to the Arduino Uno
Connect the Led4 to positive pin 11 to the Arduino Uno

Programming

#define pingTrig2 7
#define pingEcho2 6
#define pingTrig 5
#define pingEcho4
#define buzzer 2
#include < Servo.h >
Servo myservo()
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);

digitalWrite(pingTrig2.HIGH);
delay Microsecconds(10);
digitalWrite(pingTrig2.LOW);
digitalWrite(buzzer, LOW);
duration2 = PulseIn(pingEcho2, HIGH);
distance2 = duration 2 / 20 / 2;
if (distance 2 > 15) {
open close();
} else {
mysowo,
write(0)
lighting();
digitalwrite(buzzer, low)
}
void openclose() {
long during, inches, cn;
digitalwrite(pingTrig, LOW);
delay Microseconds(02);
digitalwrite(pingTrig, HIGH);
delay Microseconds(10);
digitalwrite(pingTrig, Low);
duration = pulseIn(pingEcho, High);
cn = duration / 29 / 2;
if (cn < 10) {
myservo.write(50);
delay(100);
} else {
myservo.write(0);
}
delay(1000);
void lighting() {
digitalWrite(buzzer, HIGH);
digitalWrite(8, HIGH);
digitalWrite(9, HIGH);
delay(300);
digitalWrite(8, LOW);
digitalWrite(9, LOW);
digitalWrite(10, High);
digitalWrite(11, High);
delay(300);
digitalWrite(10, Low);
digitalWrite(11, Low);
delay(300);
}

Explanation

It will sense when we want to put waste in the can and when the can is full a light will come on.
