# I also needed to install Yaml
# So:
# pip install pyyaml
# or I had to run with sudo:
# sudo pip install pyyaml
import l293d.driver as l293d
# Motor 1 uses Pin 22, Pin 18, Pin 16
motor1 = l293d.motor(22,18,16)
# Motor 2 uses Pin 15, Pin 13, Pin 11
motor2 = l293d.motor(15,13,11)
# Run the motors so visible

Hi @RangoCode, l293d has changed a bit since this Gist was made. Check out l293d.readthedocs.io to get started. The repo for this library can be found here: github.com/jmsv/l293d.

Feel free to open an issue if you need any help 😃
