---+ Controlling the DC motors

The motors cannot be driven by the Arduino PWM outputs directly but they must pass through a motor driver boosting the signal power In our case an [[http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/datasheet/82/cc/3f/39/0a/29/4d/f0/CD00000240.pdf/files/CD00000240.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.CD00000240.pdf][ L298N ]]bridge is used, which is well described on [[http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Modules-L298N-Dualhttp://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Modules-L298N-Dual-H-Bridge-Motor-Controll/-H-Bridge-Motor-Controll/][this page]].

This table shows how the driver module is connected to the Arduino Uno:

The IN pins define the direction of the movement and the EN
