MOSFET H-Bridge.

MOSFET H-Bridge for Arduino 2

LM317 constant current source.

The two items above serve the following purposes: limit the current so wiring mistakes or bad programming won't blow your transistors or MOSFETs. The other is simple LED polarity indicator to show the polarity is switching - make sure this works BEFORE connecting a motor!

Make sure any H-bridge is connected to a microcontroller, not push button switches, etc.
