Flush-A-Vader Complete

I've finally completed my project using the Arduino and the wave shield.

Really enjoyed this project, from learning to solder to playing around with code a bit more complex to what I was used to.

I did struggle with joining code from the PIR sensor with the code for the wave shield.... thank goodness for the internet :-)

 

The aim of the Flush-a-Vader is to remind toilet users not to flush anything but toilet paper once they have finished their business.

In the UK we are getting issues in the sewage network and treatment works cause by blockages by 'flushable' wipes and other disposables such as cotton buds.

    How about put the toilet seat down reminder for the lads? In Greece toilet paper and foreign objects have to be placed in the bin beside the toilet. Maybe you have a captive market there?

    Fun project. I really like the use of a PIR as the trigger for your device. My wife wants me to use a PIR for turning on the under-cabinet- LED lights in our kitchen. Simple user interface (none), just…
