Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit is designed to interface an Arduino Nano with various sensors and output devices, including an IR sensor, a microwave radar motion sensor module, a 1-channel relay, a buzzer, and a 9V battery with a rocker switch for power control. The Arduino Nano serves as the central processing unit, reading inputs from the sensors and controlling the relay and buzzer based on the sensor data. The relay can be used to switch higher power loads, and the buzzer provides audible feedback. The circuit is powered by a 9V battery, which is connected through a rocker switch to control the power supply to the circuit.

Documented Code

There is no code provided for the microcontrollers in the circuit. The functionality of the circuit will depend on the embedded code that is written and uploaded to the Arduino Nano. The code should be designed to read inputs from the IR sensor and the microwave radar motion sensor module, and based on the logic defined in the code, control the relay and buzzer.
