Kitchen Trash door pusher

I designed kitchen drawer actuator that pushes trashbin out by blocking sensor.

Basic idea is that Arudino Nano makes 38kHz IR led signal. To other pin of arduino is connected a sensor that "sees" the 38kHz light. By blocking the sensor or light with foot the actuator starts pushing.

I will add arduino code and schematic soon...
