Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit is designed to interface an Arduino UNO with a color sensor (tcs3200) and control multiple servo motors based on the color sensor's output. The Arduino UNO serves as the central processing unit, reading the color sensor data and sending control signals to the servo motors. The color sensor can detect the color of an object, and the servo motors can be used to perform actions such as positioning or rotating parts of a machine or robot. The circuit is powered by the Arduino UNO's 5V output, which is distributed to the servo motors and the color sensor. Ground connections are also centralized through the Arduino UNO.
