Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to control a 12V white LED strip using an Arduino Nano, an IR receiver, and a 12V single-channel relay. The circuit is powered by a 18650 Li-ion battery and a 5V battery connected to a USB power source. The MT3608 DC-DC converter is used to step up the voltage from the 18650 Li-ion battery to power the LED strip.
