Hi this is my firs post on these forums but i have made arduino obstacle avoidance robot car code that is pretty simple. I haven't tested it yet but it should work and I thought that I would share it in here because every code i have seen in the internet has been for servos not for motor controllers. So if anyone could give their opinion or help me with it and sorry for my bad english
