Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to interface an Arduino Nano with an HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor and a buzzer. The circuit is powered by a 3xAAA battery pack with a rocker switch for power control. The Arduino Nano reads distance measurements from the ultrasonic sensor and can trigger the buzzer based on the readings.
