Creating an automatic garbage can that opens on its own is a fun project for the electronics enthusiast. Using an Arduino Nano, an HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor, and a servo, you can easily assemble a system that will open the lid of the tank when approached.
Required components:
Connection diagram
Servo drive
Ultrasonic distance sensor HC-SR04
Accumulators
Note that the input voltage must be in the range of 7 to 12 volts.
**If you do not have the Arduino IDE installed, I advise you to watch the video tutorial, which shows how to install and configure it. At this link you will find information on how to install the driver on the Arduino board.**
Download the firmware from this link and upload it to the Arduino according to the instructions above.
You need to flash the Arduino before connecting all the components. If batteries or other parts are connected to it during the firmware, you risk burning (literally) your computer and Arduino.
We hope that everything worked out for you! The sensor measures temperature and humidity, transmits this data to the Arduino, which in turn displays it on the display.
