  2. Agenda • Project Changes • Product Description • Existing Products • Product Specifications • Technology Used • Hardware • Prototype Schematic • Software • Software Design Flow • Android Application • Task Schedule • Questions

  3. Project Changes • Some novelty or underused functions have been removed from the project: • Automatic opening • Bluetooth capabilities • Changes were made based on a new addition to the project: • Mesh network of trashcans, monitored and maintained via the web

  4. Product Description • The AutoCan is a network-enabled trashcan system. • Force sensors notify users that the trashcan is full. • Web-based interface to allow user to set date & time and an alarm. • When trash can is full, user will be notified with a red LED.

  5. Existing Products • Honey-Can-Do Step Trash Can • $67.99 • Found in common households • Hands-free, but still mechanical (stepper)

  6. Existing Products • iTouchless Trash Can • $129.99 • Uses IR sensors • Lid stays open for 3 sec. • Battery-powered • 4 D-batteries sold separately

  7. Existing Products

  8. Product Specifications • The AutoCan will incorporate a user interface that consists of an Android application allowing the user to set alerts, disable alerts, and input up to five e-mail addresses for notification of an alert to notify the level of fullness of a trashcan. • Red LED will be lit until trash is emptied. • Status of the AutoCan will be relayed to the web server to be accessed by the user. It can also be programmed to send an email as a notifcation.

  9. Product Specifications • Onboard systems maintains date, time, and alarm. • User can set date and time via the web. • User can set alarm via the web. • Interval (e.g. every 2 days) • Date and time (e.g. 04/20/13 12:00) • When user-specified alarm is triggered, red LED is lit. • Unlike the "trash full" alarm, this alarm is to be disabled by the user.

  10. Product Specifications

  11. Technology Used: Hardware • MicroChip MicroStick Board • PIC24HJ64GP502 microcontroller • Prototyping area • Powered by mini-USB • FSR 406 • Force-sensing resistor • Voltages across the resistor determines amount of force applied
