L293D Dual Motor Driver IC, 1.2A Peak - DIP16 THT

/*
L293D is a motor driver IC that can drive two DC motors or one stepper motor simultaneously. To help you get started, here's an example code for controlling two DC motors using an Arduino and L293D Dual Motor Driver IC:

This code will drive two DC motors connected to the L293D motor driver. The motors will move forward at full speed for 2 seconds, stop for 1 second, move backward at half speed for 2 seconds, and stop for 1 second. This loop will continue indefinitely.

// Pin connections to L293D
const int motor1_enable = 3; // Enable pin for Motor 1
const int motor1_input1 = 2; // Input 1 pin for Motor 1
const int motor1_input2 = 4; // Input 2 pin for Motor 1

const int motor2_enable = 5; // Enable pin for Motor 2
const int motor2_input1 = 6; // Input 1 pin for Motor 2
const int motor2_input2 = 7; // Input 2 pin for Motor 2
