You are correct. I swapped the motor shield with a new one and now it is working again. Thanks

Hi ! Unfortunately this symptom is typical to a faulty shield, the good test is to simply remove the shield and but still enable it during the sketch setup. Simhub should connect as usual to the Arduino.

Motor Shield config file issue?

Hello, I have been trying to troubleshoot my wind simulator.

I got everything setup and installed and it was working fine for about an hour.

Then I started to notice that the USB connection would be flakey and then it stopped connecting altogether. I thought it was maybe a hardware issue so I started troubleshooting.

So far, the only reason my arduino won't connect to SimHub is if I have the motor shield enabled in the config file that is uploaded. It is independent of the hardware connections, usb cables, power, etc.

Setting the motor shield to 0 allows the arduino to connect and setting the motor shield to 1 doesn't allow it to connect.

Is this a bug or other issue?

Please advise.

Thanks
