Multiple Motor Shields

Post by WaveyDavey »

Very new to this microcontroller lark, so please excuse dimwit questions (but I'm *really* excited about it all).

Is there any way to combine multiple motor shields on one Arduino controller - I'd like if possible to drive 3 steppers (3-axis machine control), but the motor shield only supports 2. Or is there a separate stepper shield I've missed?

Regards
David

You can't stack motor shields.
Here is one solution to driving more than 2: http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.ph ... per#p81549
