12 bit PWM servo shield
Hi. I'm having trouble with the PWM pins on the 12 bit PWM servo shield. None of the pins from PWM 0 to 13 seem to connect to the Arduino or even the shield's Digital I/O pins. I used a voltmeter to check the connections, and all PWM pins from 0 to 13 do not have an electrical connection to the Digital I/O pins. The adjacent GND pins and V+ pins all have an electrical connection. What's going on? I know it's not my soldering. I actually bought a second identical board to see if I have the same problem, and... I do!!!! Am I just misunderstanding this board, and I need to run jumper wires from the PWM pins to the Digital I/O pins? All the photos online do not seem to do this. Please help. Thank you.

Re: 12 bit PWM servo shield
The shield uses i2c to communicate with the Arduino so there should be no electrical connection. Take a look at this tutorial

What are you using for the Arduino?
