Circuit Documentation
Summary
The circuit in question is designed to interface an Arduino UNO microcontroller with multiple IR sensors and an LCD Display (20x4 characters) that uses an I2C interface. The IR sensors are used to detect objects or motion, and their outputs are connected to the analog inputs of the Arduino UNO. The LCD Display is powered by the 5V output from the Arduino and communicates via the I2C protocol using the SCL and SDA lines. The ground and power lines are shared among the components, establishing a common reference point and power supply.
