About this project

What you'll build: A dustbin whose lid opens automatically when a hand comes near, using an ultrasonic sensor and a servo motor on a microcontroller.

Why it's a good starter: It is a classic, satisfying first hardware project with cheap parts and instant visible results.

What you'll learn: Reading a distance sensor, controlling a servo, and wiring a simple sense-act loop.

Milestones
1. Setup & Plan
10 marks 5d
List parts, draw the wiring diagram, and describe the open/close logic; submit your plan and circuit sketch.
2. Wire & read the sensor
30 marks 10d
Connect the ultrasonic sensor and print live distance readings. Submit a photo/video of readings.
3. Add the servo lid action
30 marks 10d
Open the lid when distance is below a threshold and close after a delay. Submit a video of it working.
4. Testing & Polish
15 marks 6d
Test detection range and reliability; tune the threshold and delay.
5. Demo & Short Report
15 marks 5d
Demo the smart dustbin and submit a 1-page report with your circuit and threshold choice.
