&lt;p&gt;In this application/project based episode, we&amp;#39;re going to put together an H-bridge which will allow us to control the speed and direction of a DC brushed motor. An Arduino will provide the PWM pulses and direction control. We&amp;#39;ll also use optocouplers as the interface between the H-bridge and Arduino, which will mitigate noise and potentially dangerous voltages from damaging our IO pins.&lt;/p&gt;
