Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit is designed to control two DC motors using an L298N DC motor driver, interfaced with an Arduino UNO microcontroller. The circuit also includes a line sensor for detecting lines or edges and a battery case to provide power to the system. The Arduino UNO is programmed to interact with the line sensor and control the motor driver, which in turn controls the speed and direction of the DC motors.
