Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit is designed to interface an HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor with an Arduino UNO microcontroller. The circuit includes three LEDs (red, green, and yellow) and two tactile switch buttons. The HC-SR04 sensor is powered by the Arduino and is connected to two digital pins for triggering and receiving echo signals. Each LED is connected to a separate digital pin on the Arduino for individual control. The tactile switches are also connected to the Arduino to possibly serve as input devices. The ground connections are shared among the components and tied to the Arduino's ground.

Documented Code
Arduino UNO Code (sketch.ino)
void setup() {
}
void loop() {
}
This is the template code for the Arduino UNO. The setup()
function is intended to contain initialization code that runs once at the start, such as pin mode declarations. The loop()
function is meant for the main code that runs repeatedly, which could include reading sensor data, controlling LEDs, and reading button states. The actual implementation details will depend on the specific requirements of the circuit's operation.
