  • Connect the shield (and connect Vcc and GND on the shield to an extra power supply )
  • Compile & upload code
  • The motor should be running as described in the examples

Version History:

  • Version 0.2: everything tested on hardware + more useful examples
  • Version 0.1: wrote the code without testing it on actual hardware
