Simple library and program for the SparkFun Ardumoto Shield https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9815 with the ST Nucleo F401RE The SparkFun Ardumoto shield can control two DC motors (up to 2 amps per motor). It is based on the L298 H-bridge. Developped by : Didier Donsez & Jérome Maisonnasse License: CC-SA 3.0, feel free to use this code however you'd like. Please improve upon it! Let me know how you've made it better. This is really simple example code to get you some basic functionality with the Ardumoto Shield.
