Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit integrates an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller with multiple peripherals including HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors, an LCD Display 20x4 with I2C interface, and HC-06 Bluetooth modules. The Arduino Mega 2560 serves as the central processing unit, interfacing with the ultrasonic sensors for distance measurement, displaying data on the LCD, and communicating via Bluetooth using the HC-06 modules. The circuit is designed to be powered by the Arduino's 5V output, with common ground connections throughout.

Documented Code

Arduino Mega 2560 Code (sketch.ino)

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

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

}

This code template provides the basic structure for an Arduino sketch with setup() and loop() functions. The setup() function is intended for initialization code that runs once, such as setting pin modes or starting libraries. The loop() function contains the main logic of the program, which runs continuously after setup() completes.

The actual implementation details would depend on the specific requirements of the circuit's functionality, such as reading sensor data, processing it, and communicating via Bluetooth or displaying information on the LCD.
