Development of Smart Recycle Bin using
Microcontroller
by NOR
HABSAH OTHMAN
Synopsis of the project: Smart recycling bin
serves to sort three types of waste ie metal, paper and plastic. It uses a
microcontroller and sensor to detect the type of trash and the main circuit is
powered by battery power.

Week 8
Activity:
- 2nd workshop on methodology (chapter 3) and preliminary result (chapter 4). 14/3/2018
- Study function and choosing component related for project.
Objective:
Content/procedure:
Jurnal 1: The system consists of
- Light Dependent Resister (LDR)
- LASER
- Infrared (IR) transmitter and receiver
- Metal Sensor (Capacitive proximity sensor E2K-C)
- glass sensor (Omron E3SCR67C)
- Weight Sensor (MLC900 micro weight sensor)
- microcontroller (PIC 16f877A)
- servomotor (HS-65MG, Mighty Metal Gear Feather Servo) as actuator
Jurnal 2: The system consists of
- inductive sensor
- capacitive sensor
- Arduino UNO controller
- Act as a microcontroller, Arduino Uno is based on the ATmega328. It has 14 digital input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, and a reset button. The board can be programmed with Arduino Software (IDE). The board can operate on an external supply from 6 to 20 volts. If using more than 12V, the voltage regulator may overheat and damage the board. The recommended range is 7 to 12 volts. The ATmega328 has 32 KB flash memory. It also has 2 KB of SRAM and 1 KB of EEPROM.
- Geared DC motor
- L293D Motor driver
Result and analysis:
Conclusion: Choosing suitable component will made after finish study all 3 journal.
