Looking at UA-cam there are a lot of can crushers out there. This is the first one that was Arduino based. I had built one before using a Pneumatic door closer cylinder. I simply drilled a hole and threaded an air compressor Ball Valve to it. Problem is it ran on an air compressor, which is extremely loud. This unit can crush a can in just a few seconds and I have plans to mount it on the wall next to the recycle bin. 😁

A very neat project! Great job!
Nice job.
Heyy man, I'm late but i'm here! damn as expected, cool stuff!!
Why a controller?
Shurely, just an on/off switch with a limit switch, which reverses the motor!
You could just use geared dc motor as a pump and do hydraulic crusher so you have a ton of power
