Here is the video demoing the motor controller. I used a Mr.Basic robot platform and included a little review about that platform. For direction control a top mounted servo spins a Sharp gp2y0d810z0f IR sensor. The sensor has a single data line which is pulled low when a object comes within 10cm of the sensor.

This is the robot I quickly built to demo the Low Voltage Motor Driver. If is based off the Mr. Basic platform and MSP-430 Launchpad. It has a 6.4V lithium battery as the main power source which feeds into the voltage regulators on the Launchpad.

Most of the code for the hardware is already written. Just need to finish the controls and it will be ready for a video.
Do not have time to do a full write up right now but here are some juicy pictures.
