I am working on a project in which i am hoping to create a app in not app inventor, when my Trash box is full then sends a message or pop up notification on my app via Bluetooth .

I have a bluetooth module hc-05 and an Arduino Nano. I am just starting and I don't have a clue how to begin, please help!

How can I start ? Please guide me.

Where is the "Trash box" located and how will you know that it is full ?

The trash box will be in the boat and the waste will go into the trash box through the conveyor belt.

int Limit = 27; //height limit of your garbage bin in cm


const int trigPin = 3;
const int echoPin = 2;
long duration, percentage, range;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
  delayMicroseconds(2);  
  digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);  
  delayMicroseconds(10);  
  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
  duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
  percentage = (duration / 2) / 29.1 / Limit * 100;
  range = 100 - percentage;

if ((range >= 0) && (range <= 100))
  {
    if (range > 70)
      {
        Serial.print("F ");
      }
    if ((range >= 30) && (range <= 70))
      {
        Serial.print("M ");
      }
    if (range <= 30)
      {
        Serial.print("E ");
      }
    
     Serial.print(range);
     Serial.println();
     delay(500);
  }
  
else
 {
  Serial.print("F 100");
  Serial.println();
  delay(500);
 }

}

This is the code that will tell you how much dustbin is full?

Can I send a message via Bluetooth module to android app using Arduino nano?

6

Yes

The Bluetooth module will appear as a serial connection to which you print whatever message you want to transmit.. It would be a good idea to use a SoftwareSerial port for the Bluetooth module so that you can use Serial for debugging using the Serial monitor

Ok, can you giving me example ?

8

How can i Start for message sending code? I don't have idea for about so, please help me...!

9 
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial BTSerial(10, 11); // RX, TX

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  while (!Serial);
  BTSerial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  BTSerial.write("message from Arduino");
  delay(1000);
}
10

So can I get the output by combining the above two codes?

11

Get a simple example like mine working first then consider combining them

Ok thank you sir it's very useful for my final year project.
