Smart Trash Bin - Email Notifier When Full (Wifi IoT)

This is a smart trash bin that senses if the trash is full and sends a notification to you to let you know its time to empty it!

* ESP32

* Ultrasonic Sensor - HC-SR04

* Female-Female Jumper Cable

* Trash bin

Tools:

Hot Glue Gun

* Connect the VCC pin on the Ultrasonic sensor to 3.3V on the ESP32

* Connect the GND pin on the Ultrasonic sensor to the GND pin on the ESP32

* Connect the Trig Pin on the Ultrasonic sensor to D4 on the ESP32

* Connect the Echo Pin on the Ultrasonic sensor to D5 on the ESP32

Glue the ultrasonic sensor such that it is facing downward towards the trash bin.
