[PIC] Drive mosfet with arduino (H-bridge) non inverting configuration

drive mosfet with arduino (H-bridge) non inverting config

Hi ! I'm a newbie with only a limited knowledge about electronics, thus I really need your help!

I want to drive a Brushed DC motor and I have built an H-bridge based on 4 IRF540 N-type mosfet.
I have tried succesfully the inverting config. which uses only 1 BC337 (pwm controlled by arduino) to drive Q1 and Q3 and another BC 337 to drive Q2 and Q4.

However I want to use the non inverting configuration in the attachement.

the problem is that this configuration is not working. I hear just a slight noise from the motor but it does not move.

The arduino code is as follow:

int transistorPinT3T4 = 9; 
int transistorPinT1T2 = 10; 
int ledPin = 11;
int Mspeed = 0; 
 
void setup() {
pinMode(transistorPinT1T2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(transistorPinT3T4, OUTPUT);
pinMode (ledPin, OUTPUT);
analogWrite (transistorPinT1T2, 0); // spegne Q2 e Q3
analogWrite (transistorPinT3T4, 0); // spegne Q1 e Q4
while (!Serial);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
 
void loop() {
Mspeed = analogRead(potPin) / 4;
Serial.println(Mspeed);
if (Mspeed >= 138 ) { 
    analogWrite (transistorPinT1T2, 0); // turn OFF Q2 e Q3
    digitalWrite (ledPin, LOW);
    delay(10);
    analogWrite (transistorPinT3T4, (Mspeed));
    }
    else if (Mspeed <= 118) {
    analogWrite (transistorPinT3T4, 0); // turno OFF Q1 e Q4
    digitalWrite (ledPin, LOW);
    delay(10);
    analogWrite(transistorPinT1T2, (255-(Mspeed*2)));  
    }
    else {
    analogWrite (transistorPinT3T4, 0); // turn OFF Q1 e Q4
    analogWrite (transistorPinT1T2, 0); // turn OFF Q2 e Q3
    digitalWrite (ledPin, HIGH);
    }
}

Any suggestions? maybe I need a capacitor somewhere? Or there is a problem with time response of BJTs?

thanks a lot!
