Motor Shield Problem

by **steeev** » Sat Dec 22, 2012 4:41 pm

My new Motor Shield lights up red when connected to a Arduino Uno Rev 3. At this point I could only test it with a servo, which worked fine. Dont have any motors to test so could someone please tell me ( mayby a link to the functions of the LED ) if the LED should light green when connected to a controller? The Uno is powered by USB but I also tested it with a 9V external batterie, same effect, LED red...

Post photos of the shield so we know the exact model. Where did you purchase the shield?

It was an Ebay item from a company called Dongguan HDE LLC. I hope the quality of the foto aint to bad

That is not an Adafruit motor shield. You'll have to contact the manufacturer for support.

Thx for the reply. I will contact the manufacturer. But generally is it a fault when the LED lights red without any motors connected?

Our shields don't have red LEDs. You will have to ask the manufacturer what that means.
