<p>Just been looking at the Arduino Motor shield.  First off I found some <a href="https://microcontrollerslab.com/arduino-l293d-motor-driver-shield-tutorial/" rel="nofollow">example code</a> along with the all important motor shield library which can be found <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/adafruit-motor-shield-library/" rel="nofollow">here</a></p>

<p>The library is compressed, so once downloaded, I used the Arduino IDE tool to prepare the library software so it can be used.</p>

<p>The video below just shows how to do this.   You still need to include the library in your sketch code with:-</p>
