Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit is designed to control multiple servo motors using an Arduino UNO microcontroller. The servos are powered by the Arduino's 5V output and are controlled via individual PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals from the Arduino's digital pins. The circuit also includes a laptop connected to the Arduino UNO via USB for programming and serial communication.
