Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to control multiple DC motors using an L298N DC motor driver, interfaced with an Arduino UNO microcontroller. The circuit includes power management components such as an 18650 Li-Ion battery and an LM296 DC-DC converter, as well as sensors like flame sensors and a smoke sensor for safety monitoring. A servo motor is included for additional actuation, and a Sim800l module is present for potential communication capabilities. A 5V mini water pump is controlled via a 1 Channel 5V Relay Module, which is also interfaced with the Arduino UNO.

Documented Code

Arduino UNO Code

// Define L298N motor control pins
int enA = 5;  // Enable Pin A
int in1 = 9;  // Input Pin 1
int in2 = 10; // Input Pin 2

void setup() {
  // Set the motor control pins as outputs
  pinMode(enA, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(in1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(in2, OUTPUT);

void loop() {
  // Motor Forward
  digitalWrite(in1, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(in2, LOW);

  delay(2000); // Run forward for 2 seconds

  // Motor Stop
  digitalWrite(in1, LOW);
  digitalWrite(in2, LOW);

  // Motor Reverse
  digitalWrite(in1, LOW);
  digitalWrite(in2, HIGH);

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

Note: The code for the L298N DC motor driver is not complete and does not contain any functional code. It is likely that the control code is intended to be placed on the Arduino UNO, which sends the control signals to the L298N.
