Rover: add wiring diagram for BrushedWithRelay motor type #1069

Our Motors & Servo wiki page describes how to connect the flight controller to motor driver's using "Normal" pwm input (i.e. in the range 1ms ~ 2ms). We should add wiring diagrams and instructions on how BrushedWithRelay and perhaps BrushedBiPolar motor types can be used. Ideally we should include links to motor drivers that use these inputs.

These pages should be added to:
http://ardupilot.org/rover/docs/rover-motor-and-servo-connections.html
http://ardupilot.org/rover/docs/rover-motor-and-servo-configuration.html#rover-motor-and-servo-configuration

I've created a new page for brushed motors: http://ardupilot.org/rover/docs/common-brushed-motors.html

It's missing the diagram still though. I'm also not totally sure if this statement is true re Left and Right:

If using “Brushed With Relay” connect the Relay pin(s) to the motor driver’s direction pin(s). For skid-steering vehicles Relay1 is for the left motor, Relay2 for the right motor

Hi,
Please do update the wiring diagrams and hardware setup instructions for brushed dc motors.
Thanks!

This is still open and really needs an update. #6351 would benefit as well from a diagram.
