Motor Control

Hello! I have connected two motors to the EZ-B using an HBridge and can turn the motors on simultaneously for the same amount of time through commands such as Forward(). Is it possible to control the motors separately (e.g. one on and the other off, one rotating clockwise and the other counterclockwise, etc.) when using only one HBridge?

3.3V Vs 5V Strapping On Serial Connector

Another post reminded me of this question I've been meaning to ask. The underside of the EZB has traces near the bluetooth connector that seem to me like a user selectable voltage to the connector. My question is: Can I break the trace for the +5V jumper pad and solder the jumper pad for +3.3V? Also would this change the logic levels on that...
