🌐 IoT Configuration

The system is pre-configured to work with Blynk IoT platform:

• Token: pGyiSO3hcUVWNRGm_MWACXcFLnhRm09s
• Pin V0: Fill level percentage (0-100)
• Pin V1: GPS latitude
• Pin V2: GPS longitude

Hardware Setup (ESP32 + Ultrasonic Sensor)

// Blynk configuration
#define BLYNK_TEMPLATE_ID "your_template_id"
#define BLYNK_DEVICE_NAME "Waste Bin Sensor"
#define BLYNK_AUTH_TOKEN "pGyiSO3hcUVWNRGm_MWACXcFLnhRm09s"

// Send fill level to Blynk
Blynk.virtualWrite(V0, fillPercentage);
Blynk.virtualWrite(V1, gpsLat);
Blynk.virtualWrite(V2, gpsLng);
