+ *   (any Arduino\Genuino board can be used, the important is that the L293 pin 1 is connected to a PWM-enabled pin of Arduino)
+ *   (on the Arduino MEGA2560 all pins from 2 to 13 are PWM-enabled)
+ *   (use of pin 13 is discouraged because it can cause issues when the board resets)
+ *
+ * - L293
+ * - A DC Birirectional Motor (max 5V-4mA)
+ * - A breadboard
+ *
+ *
+ * The circuit:
+ * - Arduino pin 2 -> L293 pin 1
+ * - Arduino pin 3 -> L293 pin 2
+ * - Arduino pin 4 -> L293 pin 7
+ * - Arduino GND -> L293 pin 4, 5

+ * - L293 pin 3 -> a terminal of the motor
