Motor Shield v2.3 and radiohead ask working together

Post by anilx95 »

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a school project where i'm using the radiohead ask library to control a of transmitter and receiver alongside the Adafruit Motor Shield library to control a pair of stepper motors. I'm having issues getting the two to work together, I think the problem lies with the timer and that the timers from the ASK library and Motor Shield library conflict.

Any help would be much appreciated!

What radios are you using and how are they connected to the Arduino? Which version of the Arduino are you using?

The V2.3 motor shield communicates exclusively via i2c and all PWM s generated by the shield itself. The only timer usage is the millis() and micros() timer function. So it is unlikely that it is a timer conflict.

Thanks for the response!

I'm using currently using a pair of 433Mhz WL RF Transmitter + Receiver's. They are connected to two seperate arduinos and the reciever is connected to the PWM and the transmitter is connected to a digital pin. And I am currently using version 1.8.1

What communications protocol are you using? What data are you sending between them?
