Circuit Documentation
Summary
This document provides a detailed overview of a circuit designed to control a water pump using an Intel Galileo microcontroller, a 1 Channel 5V Relay Module, and a Float Switch. The circuit is powered by the Intel Galileo and uses the relay to switch the water pump on and off based on the state of the float switch.
