Documented Code

Arduino UNO Code (sketch.ino)

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

}

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

}

The provided code is a template with empty setup() and loop() functions, which are the standard structure for Arduino sketches. The setup() function is intended to contain initialization code that runs once when the program starts, and the loop() function is for code that runs continuously as long as the Arduino is powered.

Additional Notes

  • There is an additional file named "documentation.txt" mentioned, but it contains no code or text.
  • The actual implementation code for interfacing with the sensors, LCD, RFID modules, and servos is not provided in the input.
