* Lesson 52: Coontrol a DC motor with Relay using Arduino | Arduino Step By Step Course
Basic code
 * Arduino code change the direction of rotation 
 * of a DC motor with 2 relays.
 
 * 
 * This is basic code. I have advanced code which can be used in both 
 * for Low-level trigger and High-lever trigger relay with clean code
Please watch video explaining this code : https://youtu.be/2n0vUa0cZOI
