SmartDustbin

Smart dustbin, a combination of Microcontroller and Microprocessor to smartify daily life essential

Description:

The Smart Dustbin using a proximity sensor uses object detection, where the Proximity sensor is placed on top of the dustbin and when the sensor detects any object like a human hand, it will trigger the Micro Servo to open the lid.

Features:

1. Automated Lid.
2. LCD to display the level of trash.
3. Alert notifications when filled to full capacity.
4. Gps Based location of the Dustbin. note: GPS module only runs under the direct sky.
