Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to interface an Arduino UNO microcontroller with a 5-channel IR sensor and control two DC gearmotors through an L298N DC motor driver. The circuit is powered by a 9V battery connected through a 2.1mm barrel jack with a terminal block. The Arduino UNO reads sensor inputs from the IR sensor and outputs control signals to the L298N driver, which in turn drives the left and right gearmotors.
