This MotCon motor driver class can be used with a variety of motor driver integrated circuits for driving PM DC motors. The MotCon class is overloaded to accommodate either one or two direction pins and a PwmOut pin for speed control/motor enable .

include the mbed library with this snippet

#include "MotCon.h"     //uses the MotCon.h library for controlling the motor ports

//PC serial connection
Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX);    //tx, rx via USB connection
DigitalOut led(LED1);
MotCon m1(p25, p27);        //uses p25 for PWM and p27 for direction
MotCon m2(p26, p29, p30);   //uses p26 for pwm and p29 and 30 for direction (complimentary)
