Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to harness solar energy to charge a Li-ion 18650 battery and power a DC motor using an L298N motor driver module. The Arduino UNO serves as the control unit, interfacing with a GP2Y1010AU0F dust sensor and managing the motor's operation through the motor driver. The circuit is intended for applications where solar-powered motion and air quality monitoring are required.
