This circuit drives a motor clockwise / anticlockwise via a pot and reduces the speed to zero when the pot is in mid-position.
Up/Down Fading LED Circuit Diagram:
The current is limited to 200mA and the voltage across the motor is less than 6v, but the circuit shows the principle of Pulse Width Modulation (providing powerful bursts of current to the motor to create a high or low RPM under load) and both forward/reverse RPM via the H-bridge arrangement.
