ESP32-Controlled Quadruple DC Motor Driver with Ultrasonic Sensing
Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit is designed to control multiple DC motors using ESP32 Devkit V1 microcontroller and L298N DC motor drivers. It also includes an HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor for distance measurement. The ESP32 microcontroller interfaces with the motor drivers to control the direction and speed of the motors and reads the distance from the ultrasonic sensor. The circuit is powered by a 9V battery, which supplies power to the motor drivers and the microcontroller.

Documented Code
There is no code provided for the microcontroller. The code would typically initialize the GPIO pins for motor control and ultrasonic sensor interfacing, set up PWM for speed control, and include routines to read the sensor and control the motors based on the sensor input.
