Access to servo connectors on motor shield v2 w/lcd stacked

Post by beknit »

I have several interesting problems to work out.

I've just finished assembling my shiny new "LCD Shield Kit w/ 16x2 Character Display" and stacked it on top of my "Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2" which is in turn stacked on top of my Arduino Mega R2 ADK.

I've worked out somewhat less than elegant solutions for all but the issue of access to the Servos. With the LCD Shield stacked on top of the Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield, the pins are blocked. Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

You could solder wires to the connection points and make a remote header.

If you can find some 2x3 right-angle headers, that would work also.

I'll try to find some of these. In the mean time I'm thinking I can just "double stack" some headers to give me extra room between the two boards. I'll see if I have some extra stacking headers lying around that aren't soldered into a shield already to do this with.
