Cup Dispensing Project

The Project

We made a cup dispenser alert system using an Arduino Uno, 2 IR sensors, a buzzer, and Dupont wires. The sensors check if there are cups in the dispenser, and the buzzer goes off when the cups run out. We learned how to connect wires, use sensors, and write code to make the project work. One hard part was making the buzzer only turn on when both IR sensors did not see a cup instead of just one sensor. We had to test our code many times to fix the problem. This project helped us learn more about coding and teamwork.
