Week 11 - Sensor to be use (Research and Findings)

As the project has 2 main function which sorting and monitoring, below are the sensor decided to be use for the project. Sorting function is divided into 2 types. At the same time, Arduino UNO is also to be use as it is cheaper compared to the Rasberry Pie.

Sorting Sensor are:

This is the IR Sensor which use to detect any item that go through it, the working principle of this IR sensor are easily shown on the diagram below.

The next sensor use in this sorting system is metal sensor, basically this sensor detect any type of metal that go through it and will send signal to processor which arduino to move the servo motor which support the plane movement.

Lastly is the monitoring system that use ultrasonic sensor to monitor the trash level;
