Documented Code
No code has been provided for the microcontrollers in the circuit. To fully utilize the hardware, embedded code should be written and uploaded to the Arduino Nano. The code should handle the initialization and communication with the RFM95, SIM800L, GPS NEO 6M modules, and read the state of the inductive sensor. It should also include routines for handling data transmission, reception, GPS data parsing, cellular network operations, and sensor data processing.
Please provide the code for the microcontrollers to complete this section of the documentation.
