Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit is designed to control multiple DC motors using an ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller and an L298N DC motor driver. The circuit also includes IR sensors for input, which can be used for various sensing applications such as obstacle detection or line tracking. The ESP8266 NodeMCU is responsible for processing the signals from the IR sensors and accordingly controlling the speed and direction of the DC motors through the L298N driver. A 12V battery provides the necessary power for the motors and the motor driver.
