BO.io.DCMotor Class

Defined in: src/io/DCMotor.js:21

Creates an interface to an H-bridge to control the direction of rotation of a motor shaft. You can rotate forward (clockwise), reverse or apply a brake. See Breakout/examples/actuators/dcmotor.html for an example application.

Tested successfully with the following H-bridge: SN754410
Should also be compatible with the following:
SN754410
L293NE
TA7291P
TB6612FNG
BD621F
