Simple Example of Program for the Sparkfun Monster Moto Shield https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10182 with the ST Nucleo F401RE Adapted by : Didier Donsez From the Arduino sketch example coded by: Jim Lindblom, SparkFun Electronics 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 MonsterMoto Shield. The MonsterMote uses two VNH2SP30 high-current full-bridge motor drivers.
