/** Interface to the IBT-2 H-bridge motor controller
 *
 * Control a DC motor connected to the IBT-2 H-bridge using one of two modes:
 *
 * Mode 1:
 *     2 PwmOuts and 1 DigitalOut
 *     - L_PWM controlled with a PwmOut
 *     - R_PWM controlled with a PwmOut
 *     - L_EN, R_EN connected to a DigitalOut (High is Enabled)
 *
 * Mode 2:
 *     1 PwmOut and 2 DigitalOuts
 *     - L_PWM connected to a DigitalOut (High is Forward; keep R_PWM Low)
 *     - R_PWM connected to a DigitalOut (High is Reverse; keep L_PWM Low)
 *     - L_EN, R_EN controlled with a PwmOut
 *
 * For now, only Mode 1 is used.
