Easy DC Motor Controller

Here are the parts you'll need. All of them should be available at your local RadioShack or hobby store.

(1) DC motor

(4) MOSFET transistors. I used the IRF540N, but any N-channel MOSFET will do.
(4) Diodes

(2) NPN bipolar transistors. I used the BC548.

(2) PNP bipolar transistors. I used the BC327.

(4) 2200 ohm resistors (red-red-red)

(4) 10K ohm resistors (brown-black-orange)

Some jumper wires and a breadboard, if desired

The resistor values are not critical. Values that are fairly close will most likely work fine. Also, If you are confused about the pins on your transistors, take a look at this wonderful reference sheet from Adafruit: http://www.adafruit.com/adablog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/electronics-reference-sheet.jpg
