FAQ
How many motors can I use with this shield?
Can I connect more motors?
What if I also need some more servos?
What Arduinos is this shield compatible with?
I get the following error trying to run the example code: "error: Adafruit_MotorShield.h: No such file or
directory...."
How do I install the library?
HELP! My motor doesnt work! - HELP! My motor doesnt work!...But the servos work FINE!
What is the green Power LED for?
What pins are/are not used on the motor shield?
How can I connect to the unused pins?
My Arduino freaks out when the motors are running! Is the shield broken?
I'm trying to build this robot and it doesn't seem to run on a 9V battery....
Can this shield control small 3V motors?
I have good solid power supplies, but the DC motors seem to 'cut out' or 'skip'.
I'm using a 4WD robot platform and I can't get anything to work.
But my motor already has a capacitor on it and it still doesn't work.
Why don't you just design capacitors into the shield?
Why won't my stepper motor go any faster?
What I2C addresses are used by this shield?
My shield doesn't work with my LED backpack.
