Summary

This circuit incorporates two Arduino Nano microcontrollers, two HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensors, a pushbutton, two 9V batteries, two rocker switches, an LCD display (16 pin), a trimmer potentiometer, and a resistor. The circuit is designed to interface with ultrasonic sensors for distance measurement, display data on an LCD, and receive user input through a pushbutton. Power management is handled through rocker switches and batteries.

Component List

Microcontrollers
