    Hi guys.

    Please, i need help with my 2dof project!

    I'm stuck in SMC3 test. I'm using the Pololu drive shield 24v and a Arduino Uno.

    When i use the demo code provided of the Pololu support for test the functions. the two motors respond correctly. so, seems the shield, connections and the arduino is ok, i think..

    But when i go to the smc3 for test the moviments with the potentiometers, the motors dont move. in SMC3 appear the lines im movement, so its seems the commands comming from the pots is ok , i think. but the leds of the shield dont blink and the motors staing dead.

    ps: I'm already tested the Pololu in separate mode from arduino. and in this mode, the demo code doesn't work.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Is your code in the smc3 configured for the correct motor driver ?

    I´m using the @RacingMat code mode 1, create for shields. I think it is correct because i saw other projects with this code and shield working here in this forum.
