You need a Mosfet H-Bridge for Bi- directional control with a input circuit to read the pot and the uC in between.

If you don't know electronics and you don't know programming, do you mind if I ask why you took on this project ? How are you planning to complete it ? Are you expecting us to design and program it for you ? Is that your plan ? Don't you have anyone on your team who knows electronics or programming ?
