Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to control a system with three stepper motors, eight push buttons, two potentiometers, and an OLED display using an Arduino Mega 2560. The system has three modes of operation, each activated by a long press of a specific button. The potentiometers are used to control the speed of the motors, and the OLED display shows relevant information such as speed in RPM, motor angles, and operation count.
