1. LEDs (one for each signal you want to monitor)
2. Current Limiting Resistors (typically 220 to 330 ohms for each LED)
3. NPN Transistors (e.g., 2N3904) if the signal level is low and cannot drive the LED directly
4. Wires/Traces to make the connections

1. Connect the LED:
   • Cathode (-) of the LED to Ground (GND)
   • Anode (+) of the LED to one end of the current limiting resistor. For example, connect an LED with a 220-ohm resistor.
2. Control the LED with the Signal:
   • Connect the other end of the resistor either directly to the signal pin (if the signal voltage is sufficient to turn on the LED) or through an NPN transistor for signals that can't provide enough current.
   • If using a transistor:
     • Connect the base of the NPN transistor to the signal output via a small resistor (e.g., 1k ohms).
     • Connect the emitter of the transistor to Ground.
     • Connect the collector of the transistor to the anode of the LED (through a resistor).
3. Example Connections:
   • Direct Drive (if the signal is strong enough):
     • Connect $R1$:anode to $U1$:GPIO0.
   • Using Transistor:
     • Connect $R1$:anode to $Q1$:collector.
     • Connect $Q1$:base to $U1$:GPIO0 via a resistor (e.g., 1k ohms).
     • Connect $Q1$:emitter to $U1$:GND.

• Ensure the LED is rated for the forward voltage and current you are using.
• The resistor value should be chosen to limit the current through the LED to a safe level, typically around 10-20 mA.

1. BI (Base Input):
   • If the BI pin is meant to receive a control signal, adding a pull-down or pull-up resistor could help define a default state (e.g., logic low or high) when there's no active control signal present. This can prevent floating inputs, which might cause erratic behavior.
   • The resistor value is typically in the range of 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ, depending on the specific requirements for current and signal integrity.
2. FI (Feedback Input):
   • The FI pin could be used as part of a feedback loop for controlling the operation of the component. The addition of a resistor here would depend on the purpose of the feedback loop.
   • Often, feedback networks include resistors as part of a divider or to set gain levels. Specifics would hinge on the component's implementation and desired behavior.

• Without specific documentation or a detailed circuit description, these suggestions are based on common practices for handling control and feedback inputs.
• If you have a specific logic level or current limit requirement, choose the resistor values accordingly.

• Motor Driver: The RZ7886 is designed to control the operation of a DC motor. It typically includes features needed to drive and control the speed and direction of a motor.
• Pin Functionality:
  • BI (Pin 1) and FI (Pin 2): These are typically input control pins. They are used to set the operation mode of the motor, such as forward, reverse, or brake.
  • BO (Pins 7 and 8) and FO (Pins 5 and 6): These are the output pins that connect to the motor. They provide the power to drive the motor based on the commands from the input pins.
  • GND (Pin 3): Ground connection.
  • VCC (Pin 4): Power supply for the driver, typically connected to a positive voltage.

1. RZ7886 (U2) - A motor driver IC
2. 7805 (U3) - A voltage regulator

• Input Connection: Connect U3:IN to your power source (e.g., a battery).
• Ground: Connect U3:GND to the common GND net.
• Output Connection: Connect U3:OUT to the Net 1 which is connected to U1:VSYS for powering the Raspberry Pi Pico from the 7805's 5V output.

• BI and FI (Input pins): Connect U2:BI and U2:FI to GPIO pins on U1. For example, you could use U1:GPIO0 and U1:GPIO1.
• BO and FO (Output pins): These will connect to the motor. Ensure the motor connections are correct.
• VCC: Connect U2:VCC to a 3.3V or 5V source depending on the operating voltage of the IC. Since you are using a 7805, you can connect this to the output of the 7805 if it requires a 5V source.
• GND: Connect U2:GND to the common GND net.

1. Decoupling Capacitors: These help stabilize the power supply rails by filtering out noise. You should place them as close as possible to the power pins of the ICs. Typically, a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is placed between the VCC and GND pins of the microcontroller or other ICs, such as:
   • Connect a capacitor (let's say $C1$) between $U1$:VCC (likely pin GPIO or VSYS depending on actual power pin used in your setup) and $U1$:GND.
2. Pull-up/Pull-down Resistors: If you have any unused GPIO pins or input pins, you should tie them to a known state using pull-up or pull-down resistors. This prevents floating pins from causing unnecessary power consumption or erratic behavior.
   • For an input GPIO pin (e.g., $U1$:GPIO0), you can add a pull-up resistor (e.g., $R1$) by connecting $R1$:1 to $U1$:GPIO0 and $R1$:2 to $U1$:3V3.
3. Protection Resistors: If there are any signals interfacing with the outside world, a small series resistor can help protect the inputs from voltage spikes.
4. RC Filters: At certain analog inputs or PWM outputs, an RC low-pass filter can smooth out signals for more accurate readings or cleaner outputs.
