Summary

The circuit in question appears to be a complex system involving multiple Arduino Uno R3 boards interfaced with various sensors, actuators, and modules. The system includes ultrasonic sensors (HC-SR04) for distance measurement, a real-time clock module (RTC DS3231) for timekeeping, a servo motor (MG996R), a GSM module (SIM 800L V2.0) for cellular communication, an LCD display with I2C interface for user interaction, a relay module for controlling high-power devices, and a bilge pump for water displacement. The circuit is powered by a 12V power supply, and an AC wire is used to connect the relay to the mains power.
