Documented Code
No code has been provided for the microcontrollers in the circuit. To fully utilize the hardware, embedded code should be written and uploaded to the ESP8266 NodeMCU. The code would typically initialize the sensors and the servo, read sensor values, control the servo based on sensor inputs, and handle communication if needed.
