# Define motor pins
motorForward = 17
motorBackward = 23
enablePin = 24
# Set up motor pins as outputs
GPIO.setup(motorForward, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(motorBackward, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(enablePin, GPIO.OUT)
# Set up PWM for speed control
pwm = GPIO.PWM(enablePin, 50)  # 50 Hz frequency
pwm.start(0)  # Initialize PWM with 0% duty cycle
try:
    while True:
        # Move forward with 50% speed
        pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(50)
        GPIO.output(motorForward, GPIO.HIGH)
        GPIO.output(motorBackward, GPIO.LOW)
        time.sleep(2)
        
        # Move backward with 75% speed
        pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(75)
        GPIO.output(motorForward, GPIO.LOW)
        GPIO.output(motorBackward, GPIO.HIGH)
        time.sleep(2)
        
        # Stop
        pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(0)
        GPIO.output(motorForward, GPIO.LOW)
