I would like to stack 3 MOTORPlates on my Pi - is this going to work? Is there anything special that I need to know or things I need to keep in mind?

Thanks!

Hello and thanks for your post!

Up to eight MOTORplates can be used in a single stack, you just need to assign each one a different address. See the [[users guide](http://pi-plates.com/motorplate-users-guide/) for information on how to configure the MOTORplate and set the address on each plate in your stack.]([http://pi-plates.com/motorplate-users-guide/](http://pi-plates.com/motorplate-users-guide/))
