L298 LAP

Hi , I'm looking for clarification to use of the L298 in LAP.
i've done this circuit with eagle , pwm is on the IN1 and IN2 , and i have connected a digital output on the ENABLE ;

so could you tell me if the schematic is correct ? , and how can i programm the pwm with this configuration ? because when the pwm is 50% the motors should stop;

Thank you

You might want to define what the acronym "LAP" stands for...?

From his ckt and description, LAP apparently means Locked Anti-Phase. Some people
use this, I never have. The motors grind too much, full power all the time, lot of heat.

The schematic appears to be ok, but I don't understand "how can i programm the pwm
with this configuration", as it should be apparent.

i mean ,how can i write the code for this configuration ? because i have no idea , i might use AnalogWrite (PIN , 255);
but i'm not sure.
Please help me and thank you

digitalWrite() - Arduino Reference --> HIGH to the enable pins,
analogWrite() - Arduino Reference --> 128 to the 4011s.

128 should set the motors to zero speed. 255 --> full forward, 0 --> full reverse.

Are you sure about this tipe of code ? because an italian moderator say me that it doesn't work.
Have you tried this code with this configuration ?

Thank you for the answer

they told me the exact opposite

Just go on and try it, and see how it works. That's the "proof of the pudding", as they say.
As I mentioned, I haven't done it myself, and I never decide on anything until I've actually
tried it myself.

I think i can help you a bit, i am currently working on my bot it's very similar as yours.
