Hello,
I want my Movi Shield to control a common cathode RGB LED. The problem is when I upload the code it doesn’t work. I don’t get a response from the Movi Shield and it doesn’t execute any commands. However if I upload the earlier version of the code (V.2) it works perfectly.
How do I get this to work?
Thanks in advance.
(Also, for some reason the LCD screen will only display when the Movi shield is powered and the Arduino Mega is plugged into the computer. It won’t display when just the Movi is powered. (It should have enough power because it is being powered by a 9v 2a power supply) Does anyone know how to fix that problem as well? Thanks.)
