Hello,
I'm attempting to use motor shield 1438 and the trellis keypad together. The keypad works fine, but the stepper motors (I'm using 2) won't run correctly. I've narrowed it down to the point that if I remove this function: trellis.writeDisplay(); - the motors run correctly, but then the keypad doesn't work. I tried adjusting the trellis library, but that didn't make it any better - mostly because I don't know what I'm doing.
If anyone can help me, that would be great. I'm using the libraries available here for download, and don't know enough about them really fix the problem.
Here is my code, if it helps:

Re: motor shield / trellis keypad interference
The Trellis board uses address 0x70 by default. This is the same as the All-Call address for the shield. You can re-addres the Trellis to avoid the conflict.

Re: motor shield / trellis keypad interference
That worked! Thank you! I'd tried changing the address of the trellis, but I hadn't actually changed the physical jumpers, only the code.
On a related note, I adjusted the physical jumpers to change the address to 75 (A2 and A0), but the trellis won't work unless I call it 76 in the code. Is it possible the documentation is wrong?
Again, thank you. I've been stuck on this for at least a month.

Re: motor shield / trellis keypad interference
Haven't heard of any issues with the addressing. I'll check into it...
