Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit is designed around an Arduino UNO microcontroller and includes several peripherals: flex resistors to measure bending or flexing, servos for actuation, and fixed-value resistors for voltage/current control. The flex resistors are connected to the analog inputs of the Arduino to measure analog changes, while the servos are controlled via digital outputs. The fixed-value resistors are likely used for pull-up or pull-down configurations.
