How To Control Brushed DC Motors & H-bridge in Python

This is a followup video on using PWM with Python and the Raspberry Pi. The first video covered how to control LED brightness using PWM, while this video goes into detail on how to control the speed and direction of brushed DC motors using an H-bridge, and covers topics both on the hardware side of things and the software side as well.
