Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

The circuit in question is designed to interface an ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller with an IR sensor and a GPS NEO 6M module. The ESP8266 NodeMCU serves as the central processing unit, capable of Wi-Fi communication and general-purpose input/output operations. The IR sensor is used to detect infrared signals, which can be used for various applications such as motion detection or remote control signal reception. The GPS NEO 6M module provides location data, allowing the circuit to determine its geographical position.
