Description

The purpose of this project is to use a DC brushed motor as a bi-directional rotary input device.
The method of operation is that a DC motor generates a voltage proportional to the rate at which it is turned,
and the polarity of the voltage depends on the direction in which it is turned. Using those 2 variables, the motor can be used as a control.

In the following pseudo code, X will contain the value set by the control.

Loop:
X=X+ADC1
X=X-ADC2
