Arduino Library for the L298N Motor Controller.
Create:
Create a object to control an individual motor.
L289N motor(dirPin1, dirPin2, pwmPin, invert);
dirPin1, dirPin2 - digital IO pins used to control direction. pwmPin - pwm pin to control speed. invert - (optional) [true/false] Invert motor direction.
Initialize:
Initialize to control the motor. Should be run in the init() function.
motor.init();
Control:
Set the motor speed and direction.
motor.setSpeedDirection(speed);
speed - [-255 to 255] Speed to run the motor at.
