I use Remote Arduino (Firmata protocol, NuGet extension to Microsoft Visual Studio) to access an Arduino from a Windows 10 PC/ C# application.
The arduino is equipped with two Adafruit Motorshields V2.3 Prod.ID 1438 driving 8 motors.
How do I access the motor shields via Remote Arduino? Do I have to extend Firmata?
Is there an add-on to Remote Arduino on the PC?
thank you.

Re: Adafruit motorshield v2.3 with Remote Arduino
The V2 motor shield is controlled entirely via i2c. We don't use Firmata here, but I believe it has basic i2c support. You would probably need to add some extensions to drive motors via the shield.

Do you have any solution/idea on how to add a library to Firmata protocoll?adafruit_support_bill wrote:The V2 motor shield is controlled entirely via i2c.

Re: Adafruit motorshield v2.3 with Remote Arduino
We are not Firmata users and don't have any experience with adding libraries to it.
I did find one thread on the subject, but it doesn't look like there was any resolution: https://github.com/rwaldron/johnny-five/issues/380

So there is no actual way on using your motorshield with Remote Arduino?adafruit_support_bill wrote:We are not Firmata users and don't have any experience with adding libraries to it.

Re: Adafruit motorshield v2.3 with Remote Arduino
None that I am aware of. You might want to post your question to the folks that maintain Firmata or Remote Arduino.
