Circuit Documentation

Summary

The circuit in question is designed to interface an ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller with an HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor and a buzzer. The ESP8266 NodeMCU is responsible for controlling the sensor to measure distances and triggering the buzzer based on certain conditions. The HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor is used for distance measurement, while the buzzer provides an audible alert. The circuit is powered by the 3.3V supply from the ESP8266 NodeMCU, and common ground connections are established between all components.
