Simple 2-way motor control for the arduino

Step 4 How this works & more Ideas

How This Works:
When you make one pin HIGH & another LOW, the pin that is HIGH has a positive voltage & the pin that is LOW works like a ground(-).

Note: The rotation direction maybe different than below.

Pin 5:	Pin 6:	Rotates:
HIGH	LOW	CCW
LOW	HIGH	CW
PWM: 127	LOW	CCW 1/2 Speed

CCW = Counter Clockwise
CW = Clockwise

Ideas:
Add a second motor. Sorry I don't have any code for this, But there is a schematic posted below.

I tried this and my motor must be too big or something.. do I need to send any information through the interface to the controller?

It seems to me like this would only be able to drive the motors at a maximum of 1/2 power each when they're reverse of each other.  You could get both to move full-power when they're going the same direction (they share either a common ground or common source), but when they're opposite, you're spending 1/2 of each PWM train on each motor (which at full power, is a 1/2 duty-cycle PWM wave).  Interesting idea though, it's crazy what you can do with microcontrollers these days.
