Week of 11/11: Draw out design of trash bin, plan how the technology will work, order parts/materials I might need, get IR sensor to work with Winbond when dumping trash into the bins. Document all progress.
Week of 11/18: Plan next steps, figure out how to detect when the bin is full and build it. Incorporate the "full" sensor with rest of what I've made thus far. Document progress.
Week of 11/25: Holiday! Start testing out my XBee's and get them to work. Get the trash bin to talk to my computer.
Week of 12/2: buy materials to build the casing, build out the bin and test its structure, make tweaks if needed. Document my progress.
Week of 12/9: Program the entire week! Program/debug my Arduino, do any needed programming for the XBee's, wire it all up into the bin's casing, debug.
Final Day, 12/16: Present final product.
