Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit appears to be a simple sensor circuit that uses a piezo sensor to detect vibrations or pressure changes. When the piezo sensor is activated, it allows current to flow through to the anode of a red LED, causing the LED to light up. A resistor is connected in series with the LED to limit the current and protect the LED from damage due to excessive current.
