I have the same problem with the motors.
The software of arduino is not the problem
The problem is the monster H bridge.
The one of the 2 chips is burned or does not work .
(i had connect the power with + to - so i burn the bridge)
When I burn the breadge I notice that the one motor speeds and react but the other on back way it is toooooooooo slow and I can stop it by hand and at the other way it is ok.
I use an other breadge and it is now ok.
