This motor controller was designed for use as cheap, simple motor controller for [[Brushed DC Motor Theory|brushed DC motors]]. It uses a [[PIC Microcontroller]] to convert a low-power analog control signal to a [[Pulse Width Modulation|PWM]] duty cycle which is amplified using a full-bridge to drive a motor.
