Study Notes

Circuit Diagram and Code Overview

The code defines pins for controlling two DC motors using the L298 motor driver.
Motor A controls its speed via the enA pin and operates with inputs defined by in1 and in2.
Motor B uses the enB pin for speed control, with directional inputs in3 and in4.
Infrared sensors are utilized to detect fire, with pins assigned to ir_R, ir_F, and ir_L.

Pin Configuration

enA is assigned to pin 10 for controlling Motor A's enable signal.
Pins 9 and 8 (in1 and in2) set the forward and reverse direction for Motor A.
Pins 7 and 6 (in3 and in4) control Motor B's direction.
enB on pin 5 manages the speed of Motor B.
The infrared sensors are connected to analog pins A0, A1, and A2.
A servo motor is connected to pin A4, and a pump to pin A5.

Motor Speed Control

The Speed variable is initialized to 160, representing the duty cycle for motor speed ranging from 0 to 255.

Setup Function

The setup() function initializes serial communication at 9600 bps.
Infrared sensor pins are set as input to receive signals.
Motor control pins (enA, in1, in2, in3, in4, and enB) are configured as output.
The servo and pump pins are also designated as output.

Servo Initialization

A loop iterates to move the servo from 90 degrees to 40 degrees in decrements of 5 degrees.
servoPulse() function is used to send signals to the servo, controlling its movement.
