    * 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
