This kit transforms an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor into a smart bin monitor. It shows fill levels on a 0.96‑inch OLED as a tank icon that rises from 0% to 100% and shifts through green, yellow, and red zones, so you always know when it is time to empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fully working prototype of a touchless trash can.
