Connection for Control two motors according to user given commands.

Connect two motors with DAGAYA Surge Duo Motor Driver and Arduino. Use USB cable to send data to Arduino through GUI application

Code

Code for test the module

Arduino
Upload this code to test break, direction change, PWM of the motor.
const int motorPin = 9; // Pin connected to motor driver input
const int phasePin = 10; //pin connected to PH pin 



void setup() {
  pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT); // Set motorPin as an output
}

void loop() {

digitalWrite(phasePin, HIGH); // sets the direction to forward
delay(5000);

  digitalWrite(motorPin, HIGH);//motor runs in full speed for 3 sec
  delay(3000);
  digitalWrite(motorPin, LOW);//motor breaks for 1 sec
  delay(1000);
  
  
  // Change the motor speed gradually from 0 to 255 and back to 0
  for (int speed = 0; speed <= 255; speed++) {
    analogWrite(motorPin, speed); // Set motor speed
    delay(300); // Adjust delay for speed change
  }
  for (int speed = 255; speed >= 0; speed--) {
    analogWrite(motorPin, speed); // Set motor speed
    delay(300); // Adjust delay for speed change
  }

digitalWrite(phasePin, LOW);  // Change the direction to backward
delay(1000);

// Change the motor speed gradually from 0 to 255 and back to 0
  for (int speed = 0; speed <= 255; speed++) {
    analogWrite(motorPin, speed); // Set motor speed
    delay(300); // Adjust delay for speed change
  }
  for (int speed = 255; speed >= 0; speed--) {
    analogWrite(motorPin, speed); // Set motor speed
    delay(300); // Adjust delay for speed change
  }
