I am trying to control a DC motor (both speed and direction). The motor can draw 1A max. The PIC will accept (occasional) serial commands such as forward, backward, and panic stop, and while it is not busy receiving commands it will generate PWM and direction signals for the L293B. If this is not the best approach, I would be interested in hearing others. Thanks alot.
