Motorshield v2.3 Stacking question

Post by buildingscience »

I have "stacked" two v2.3 motor shields, with steppers connected as per the "StackingTest" example in the motor shield example code.

I am running the example sketch, but the stepper assigned to M3/M4 on the "bottom" shield does not turn in response to "myStepper1 ->onestep(FORWARD, DOUBLE); "

However, it does turn in tandem with "myStepper3" which is wired into the M3/M4 ports on the "top" shield.

My goal is to control each stepper independently, and i am somewhat confused here, as i am running the default example code. And have checked how i have things wired up.

: (

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sounds like an addressing issue. If they are both at the same address, they will both move the same.
