Summary of the Circuit
This circuit appears to be designed for environmental sensing and actuation. It includes a microcontroller (Arduino UNO), two servomotors (SG90), a rain sensor, a photocell (LDR), and a resistor. The Arduino UNO is used as the central processing unit, interfacing with the rain sensor and photocell to receive environmental data, and controlling the servomotors based on this data. The resistor is likely used for creating a voltage divider with the photocell to measure light levels.
Component List
Resistor
- Description: A passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.

The provided code is a template with empty setup()
and loop()
functions. The setup()
function is intended for initialization code that runs once when the microcontroller is powered on or reset. The loop()
function contains the main logic of the program, which runs repeatedly as long as the microcontroller is powered.
Further implementation details would be required to provide a functional program, such as initializing the input and output pins, reading sensor data, and controlling the servomotors based on sensor inputs.
