How to separate biodegradable and nonbiodegradable waste using sensor?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The proposed system makes use of sensors to identify incoming objects. Inductive sensors are used to detect metallic objects. Capacitive sensors are used to detect plastics and glass and disposable objects. They are adjusted to sense only disposable objects. Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect the presence of non-transparent objects within the system. Arduino MEGA microcontroller is used to process the outputs from the sensors. Based on sensor outputs, the microcontroller provides control signals in the form of steps to a stepper motor. Depending on the number of steps the motor rotates by a specific angle and aligns itself below the sensing plate. After that the object is dropped into its corresponding bin. Hence plastics and metals will be separated from disposable objects.
