With Arduino

Automatic dustbin

Components Required

 Arduino Uno (or any compatible microcontroller)

 Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04) - Detects the distance of approaching objects.

 Servo Motor - Opens and closes the lid.

 Jumper Wires - For connections.

 Breadboard - For prototyping.

 Battery or Power Supply - To power the Arduino.

 Dustbin with a Hinged Lid - A small trash bin to integrate the system.

How It Works

1. The ultrasonic sensor detects when an object (like a hand) comes within a predefined
distance (e.g., 10-15 cm).

2. Arduino processes this data and sends a signal to the servo motor.

3. The servo motor rotates to open the lid.

4. After a set time (e.g., 5 seconds), the servo motor rotates back to close the lid.

Wiring Diagram

 Ultrasonic Sensor:

o VCC → Arduino 5V

o GND → Arduino GND

o Trig → Arduino Pin 9

o Echo → Arduino Pin 10

 Servo Motor:

o VCC → Arduino 5V

o GND → Arduino GND

o Signal → Arduino Pin 11

Enhancements

1. Battery-Powered Dustbin: Make it portable using a rechargeable battery pack.


2. Trash Level Indicator: Add another ultrasonic sensor to check if the bin is full and notify via
an LED or buzzer.

3. Wi-Fi Control: Integrate an ESP8266 or ESP32 to send notifications to a smartphone when


the bin is full.

4. Solar-Powered Smart Dustbin: Use a solar panel to charge the system, making it eco-
friendly.

Without Arduino

Automatic night lamp

Materials Required

1. Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)

2. NPN Transistor (e.g., BC547 or 2N2222)

3. Resistors:

o 10 kΩ (for the LDR circuit)

o 330 Ω (for the LED)

4. LED or a small 5V bulb

5. Breadboard and jumper wires

6. Power supply (5V or a 9V battery with a regulator)

How It Works

 The LDR changes its resistance based on the light intensity:

o In bright light: Low resistance.

o In darkness: High resistance.

 This change in resistance controls the base voltage of the transistor, which acts as a switch.

 In darkness, the transistor turns on, completing the circuit to light up the LED or bulb.

Steps to Build

1. Connect the LDR and Resistor:

o One end of the LDR connects to the power supply (+).


o The other end of the LDR connects to the base of the transistor through a 10 kΩ
resistor.

2. Connect the Transistor:

o Connect the emitter pin of the transistor to the ground (-).

o The collector pin will connect to the LED or bulb circuit.

3. Add the LED and Resistor:

o Place the LED in series with a 330 Ω resistor.

o Connect the positive end of the LED to the collector of the transistor.

4. Power the Circuit:

o Connect the power supply (+) to the LDR and the positive terminal of the LED.

o Connect the power supply (-) to the ground.

Testing

 Place the LDR in a well-lit environment: The LED should remain off.

 Cover the LDR to simulate darkness: The LED should turn on.
