I'm trying to build a DC motor control circuit.
I'd like to get the motors running from 0% to 100%.
 
I'm considering running the motors with a pulses from a 555, using 
the 555's duty cycle to vary the speed.
 
Being able to change the directon of the motors via a simple switch 
is important...
 
I realize that there are chips available. Numbers anyone? TI manufactures 
one,  as does National Semiconductor.. How easy are they to get, and
how easy are they to control / wire / what external parts are 
required?
 
Leads, sources, and schems are appreciated. thanks!
