/* * * L293D motor shield library Original Adafruit-Motor-Shield-library Library URL:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Motor-Shield-library * * This code is to control 4 DC
motor in both CW and CCW direction * I have modified the code to allow you better
understand how to control DC mototor * learn how to use L293D chip without the shield
