I have a problem with my arduino project and I tryed everything to fix it but nothing helps. I am trying to rotate my dc motor with 2 buttons , 1 button is to stop/start rotating on left side, and the second one is for stop/start rotating on the right side .I cant switch the states and if the motor is rotating i cant stop it. The speed is controlled by the Potentiometer and works fine, just the buttons are the Problem. I hope somebody can help me. Thank you 
int enablePin = 11;
int in1Pin = 10;
int in2Pin = 9;
int switchPin = 7; int switchPin1 = 6;
int potPin = 0;
int statusPin= 13; boolean status;
void setup()
{
pinMode(in1Pin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(in2Pin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(enablePin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(switchPin, INPUT_PULLUP); pinMode(switchPin1, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(statusPin,OUTPUT); Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
int speed = analogRead(potPin) / 4;
boolean reverse = digitalRead(switchPin); boolean reverse1 = digitalRead(switchPin1);
if(reverse == false){ status = true; } if(reverse1 == false){ status == false; }
setMotor(speed, status);
}
void setMotor(int speed, boolean reverse)
{
analogWrite(enablePin, speed);
digitalWrite(in1Pin, ! reverse);
digitalWrite(in2Pin, reverse);
}
I just add the second button with paint , so dont get confused.
