This project was inspired through the fear of contracting the deadly coronavirus via touching various object like rails, door handle, plastic... Yes Plastic that's where we come in. Plastics surfaces like the body of a sanitizer might even be contaminated through someone else via touching…but who knows. This project was also created to relieve you the stress of holding unto a sanitizer and pressing in order to release the gel.
WHAT MADE ME DO THIS?This project of mine has been developed to also reduce the amount of money spent on Sanitizer dispensers especially in places like my country "Nigeria" where people take advantage of the current economical and environmental circumstance to make certain product that are urgently needed by the masses very expensive therefore discouraging them from getting one.
HOW IT WORKS.The project simply works by utilizing the earth gravity to release the sanitizer unto your hand with the support of various basic sensors to implement. The process involves a distance sensor made with the ultrasonic sensor to determine the range and proximity of the user to the sanitizer. When the user is within a certain range the ultrasonic sensors triggers the Servo connected to it and the Servo then in turns opens the valve and releases the gel and the buzzer notifies you when the gel is being released and also alerts people around when someone is just messing around with the device. Full code can be here in my GitHub repository, thanks.
