Summary

This circuit is designed to control two DC motors using an Arduino UNO microcontroller and an L298N DC motor driver. It includes two IR sensors for input and an HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor for distance measurement. The circuit is powered by a 12V battery, which supplies power to the motor driver and the Arduino UNO, which in turn powers the sensors.

Component List

Arduino UNO

• Microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P
• It has 14 digital input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.

DC Motor (x2)
