Circuit Documentation
Summary
The circuit in question is designed to control two bipolar stepper motors using two L298N DC motor drivers, which are interfaced with an ESP32 microcontroller. The ESP32 is responsible for sending control signals to the motor drivers to manage the direction and speed of the stepper motors. The circuit is powered by a 12V power supply, which is also connected to a 12V battery to provide the necessary voltage to the motor drivers and the motors.
