16-CHANNEL 12-BIT PWM/SERVO SHIELD and OE
I want to disable output of the ADAFRUIT 16-CHANNEL 12-BIT PWM/SERVO SHIELD with the OE on the PCA9685. Although the OE is provided on the PWM/Servo Driver (product #815), it is not labeled on the Shield board (product #1411). It appears that the OE pin on the PCA9685 does have a trace to it on the board, but can it be accessed?

The OE pin of the PCA9685 has a pulldown to ground, but that's it. It's not broken out to a pad. If your soldering skills and equipment are up to the task, you could tack a wire onto the OE pin and connect it to an otherwise unused digital pin.

Thanks. I was able to attach a wire to the OE pin and this works.
