Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit involves the use of multiple stepper motors controlled by A4988 stepper motor drivers, which are in turn managed by STM32F103C8T6 microcontrollers. The circuit is powered by 9V batteries. The primary purpose of this setup is to control the stepper motors using the microcontrollers, with the A4988 drivers acting as intermediaries to handle the power and control signals required by the motors.
