+/*   Controlling a brushless motor with 2X L293D
+*

+*   
+*    @description of the program: 
+
+*    Brushless motor control program with L293D. 
+*    L293D is a simple, cheap standard DC motor driver and can be found easily.
+*    But I should say that controlling brushless motors with L293D is not efficient 
+*    and precise. Proper way to control brushless motor is using an ESC or drivers
+*    like L6235. For the time being I have none of them, but I had a brushless motor that 
+*    I wanted to control and see how it works. If you want to do the same, that program
+*    is for you. 
+*      
+*    This guy did a great job by explaining how it is done:
