Circuit Documentation
Summary
The circuit in question is designed to interface an ESP-8266 microcontroller with a pair of TCRT 5000 IR sensors and a pair of HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors. The IR sensors are used to detect the presence and possibly the intensity of light reflecting off nearby objects, while the ultrasonic sensors are used to measure the distance to objects by emitting ultrasonic pulses and measuring the time it takes for the echoes to return.
