Circuit Documentation

Summary

The circuit is designed to control multiple DC gearmotors using an L298N motor driver, interfaced with an ATmega328P Xplained Mini microcontroller. The circuit includes ultrasonic distance sensors (HC-SR04) for distance measurement, an IR sensor (TCRT 5000) for object detection, and an I2C LCD screen for displaying information. A Bluetooth module (HC-06) is incorporated for wireless communication. The entire circuit is powered by a 12V battery, with voltage regulation provided by the microcontroller and motor driver for their respective operating voltages.
