Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to control a system that includes stepper motors, servos, and wireless communication modules. It is powered by a Lipo battery and regulated by an LM340T5 7805 voltage regulator. The control logic is managed by an Arduino Mega 2560, which interfaces with DRV8825 stepper motor drivers, servo motors, an HC-05 Bluetooth module, and an NRF24L01 wireless module. The circuit also includes various capacitors and resistors for stability and current limiting, as well as a trimmer potentiometer for adjustable resistance.

Documented Code

Arduino Mega 2560 Code (sketch.ino)

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

This code is a template for the Arduino Mega 2560. The setup() function runs once when the microcontroller is powered on or reset. The loop() function runs repeatedly, allowing the microcontroller to perform its tasks. The actual implementation details will depend on the specific requirements of the circuit's application.
