Hello all,
I have a small project that I am in need of assistance with. I'll try to make this as easy to understand as possible..
In my kitchen island I built a beer bottle chute. This chute dumps into a container in my basement for collection. What I would like to do is have a simple notification system in place that lets me know when the container is full. My plan is to put a Red/Green LED in the island next to the opening. It will remain green until the bin is full thus changing to red. I want this to be as simple as possible so I would like to use a garage door safety sensor mounted to the bin for detection.
I am sure this is laughably simple to design but I just haven't the electrical knowledge at this level!
Thank you!
Josh
