Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to control a bipolar stepper motor using a stepper driver, interfaced with an Arduino UNO microcontroller. The circuit also includes multiple HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors and servo motors, which are likely used for distance measurement and precise angular positioning, respectively. The Arduino UNO provides the control signals for the stepper driver, ultrasonic sensors, and servos.

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

The provided code is a template with empty setup() and loop() functions, which are the standard structure for Arduino sketches. The setup() function is intended to contain initialization code that runs once when the microcontroller is powered on or reset. The loop() function is intended to contain the main logic of the program, which runs repeatedly as long as the microcontroller is powered. Additional code is required to control the stepper motor, read the ultrasonic sensors, and drive the servo motors based on the specific application requirements.
