Circuit Documentation
Summary of the Circuit
The circuit described by the provided inputs is a simple control circuit that uses a rocker switch to turn a gear motor on and off. The power source for the circuit is a 9V battery. The rocker switch acts as a manual control to allow current to flow from the battery to the motor, thus enabling the motor to operate. When the switch is in the 'on' position, the circuit is closed, and the motor should run. When the switch is in the 'off' position, the circuit is open, and the motor should stop.
Component List
Rocker Switch
- Description: A rocker switch is a type of on/off electrical switch that rocks (rather than trips) when pressed, which means one side of the switch is raised while the other side is depressed.
- Pins: 2 pins (1, 2)
- Purpose: To control the power supply to the gear motor, allowing the user to turn the motor on or off.
Gear Motor
- Description: A gear motor is an all-in-one combination of an electric motor and a gearbox. This makes it a simple, cost-effective solution for high-torque, low-speed applications because it combines a motor with a gear reducer system.
- Pins: 2 terminals (Terminal 1, Terminal 2)
- Purpose: To perform mechanical work when powered by the battery.
9V Battery
- Description: A 9V battery is a common power source for small electronic devices and projects. It provides a nominal voltage of 9 volts.
- Pins: 2 terminals (-, +)
- Purpose: To provide the electrical power needed to operate the gear motor.

Documented Code
There is no embedded code provided for this circuit as it does not include any programmable components or microcontrollers. The operation of the circuit is purely electrical and mechanical, controlled by the physical position of the rocker switch.
This documentation provides an overview of the circuit's components, their purpose, and how they are wired together to achieve the desired functionality. Since there are no microcontrollers or programmable elements in this circuit, there is no code to document.
