ESP32-Controlled Dual DC Motor & Stepper Motor Driver System
Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit is designed to control two types of motors: a DC motor and a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor. The DC motor is driven by an L298N motor driver, which is controlled by an ESP32 microcontroller. The stepper motor is driven by a ULN2003A breakout board, also controlled by the ESP32. Power is supplied by two separate 9V batteries, each with a toggle switch for power control. The ESP32 microcontroller is programmed to control the speed and direction of the DC motor and can be adapted to control the stepper motor as well.

This code is designed to control a DC motor using the ESP32 microcontroller. It sets up PWM for speed control and then cycles the motor forward, backward, and varies the speed. The pins used in the code correspond to the ESP32 microcontroller and must be connected to the appropriate pins on the L298N motor driver for proper operation.
