Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit is designed to control a water pump using a water sensor, a relay, and a transistor. The circuit is powered by a 9V battery and includes a solar panel for charging a Li-ion 18650 battery through a TP4056 module. A rotary potentiometer is used to adjust the sensitivity of the water sensor. An LED is included to indicate the status of the circuit.
