Addressing two motor shields

Post by zara2355 »

Hello

I am using two stacked motor shields for my project and understand that i need to address them both separately. I was wondering if for the first one (the one directly stacked on my UNO) if i can leave the I2C addressing jumper "blank" (that is, no solder), and then just create the jumper for the "top" motor shield like it is shown in the picture (https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/9513)

Or do i need to make a jumper for BOTH shields? And if so does it matter how i do it?

Sorry for what might be a simple question, i have no experience with I2C whatsoever

You can leave the first one as-is. No need for any jumpers. It will have the default address.
