 # L293
-Library for the control of bidirectional motors and not by the integrated circuit L293
 
-Created by Giuseppe Masino, 28 may 2016

+Compatible architecture: ALL
+
+##Description
+
+Library that allows to control bidirectional motors using the L293 IC
+
+##Sintax & short command reference
+
+- Creating an istance  
+
+    *L293(pwmPin, forwardPin, backPin);*   
+    *L293(pwmPin, forwardPin, backPin, speedOffset);*  
+    
+    **L293**        : the name of the object  
+    **pwmPin**      : the pin that generate the pwm signal used to control the motor speed  
+    **forwardPin**  : the digital pin used to tell the motor to go forward  
+    **backpin**     : the digital pin used to tell the motor to go reverse  
+    **speedOffset** : the offset value applied to the pwm signal value, used to reduce the power given to a motor  
+                     (e.g. in a robot two motors must rotate at the same speed, but one is more powerful than other)  
+
+- Moving the motor
+
+  ***L293.forward(speed);***  : makes the motor to go forward, **speed** can be a value between -255 and 255
+
+  ***L293.back(speed);***     : makes the motor to go reverse, **speed** can be a value between -255 and 255
+
+  ***L293.stop();***          : stops the motor
+
+  ***L293.setSpeedOffset(speedOffset);*** : Used to set a new speed offset value after the creation of the istance
