Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to control multiple DC motors and servos using an ESP32 microcontroller and L298N motor drivers. The ESP32 is responsible for generating control signals that are sent to the L298N drivers, which in turn drive the motors. The servos are directly controlled by the ESP32 through PWM signals. The circuit is powered by a 4 x AAA battery mount, and the voltage is boosted as needed by MT3608 step-up converters.
