12 bit PWM servo shield

Post by clemly »

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.

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?
