    Controlling 4 Motors Using Arduino

    Uploaded by

    Sabir Alie
    This Arduino code controls 4 DC motors using an L293D motor shield. It defines each motor using the AF_DCMotor library and sets their speed and direction of rotation. The code runs the motors in forward, backward, and release modes individually and together at varying speeds up to 100% in a loop, demonstrating how to control 4 motors with the motor shield and Arduino.
