Arduino + PWM Shield + Monster Moto Shield = Totally Doable?

Development Boards Arduino

Hello All,

It’s been some time since I’ve been on here, but I had to get some expert opinions on a question I have. I currently want to stack the following two boards on my Arduino, and I wanted to see if it was possible from a coding perspective:

http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10182

So, I’m not all that great at coding for the Arduino (but I’m learning!), so before I go ahead and purchase the two boards above, I just wanted to make sure that there isn’t anything I missed. Of course some of you may say, “Just look at the f###ing code and figure it out,” but I just wanted to be sure. I noticed that the code for both referred to what seemed to be the same pins (I could be wrong), so I didn’t want to buy two things that interfered with each other.

Thanks in advance for your replies. :dance:

From the photos, it looks like both shields use D9. So, that rules out a “just works” answer. Whether you can overcome this will take some research on your part as to what pin 9 does for each and if one if re-routable as another pin (using wire).

You won’t like my next suggest, but you need to download the datasheet and schematics for both shields and read them.
