Part 5: DC Motors

In this lesson we learn how to contorl a DC motor using L298N Motor driver module and Arduino .
Please watch the video for full details.
This code controls two L298N Modules and as a result, we can control 4 motors. We have Module A (moduleA) and Module B (moduleB) and each module can control 2 motors motor1 and motor2.
