We are actually not u - `int brakePin = 9;` - assign brake pin. - `digitalWrite(directionPin, state)` - sets the direction of the pin by using HIGH or LOW states. - `digitalWrite(brakePin, state)` - release or activate brakes, using HIGH or LOW states. -- `analogWrite(pwmPin, 30)` - write a value between 0-100 to set the work duty. +- `analogWrite(pwmPin, 30)` - write a value between 0-255 to set the work duty. - `directionState = !directionState` - a boolean that switches every time the loop is run. The sketch can be found in the snippet below. Upload the sketch to the board.
