Circuit Documentation

Summary

The circuit in question appears to be a simple control system that uses an infrared (IR) sensor to trigger a relay, which in turn controls two 12V fans. The IR sensor is powered by a 9V battery, while the relay and the fans are powered by a separate 12V battery. When the IR sensor detects an object, it sends a signal to the relay's input, causing the relay to switch and provide power to the fans, turning them on.

Component List

IR Sensor

  • Pins: out, gnd, vcc
