Rugged Motor driver with adafruit drivers

[Sandy]

Hi folks, I got a couple of ruggedcircuits motorshields a while back
but struggled to get them integrated into my setup. I was replacing
an adafruit motorshield that had ran out of power for what I wanted,
and read the ruggedcircuits ones were compatible with the AFMotor
libraries. I can't figure out how to configure the AFMotors to drive
the ruggedcircuits pins though.

Can anybody help me get this working?


Cheers

Sorry, we goofed. The Rugged Motor Driver shields are not compatible
with the AFMotor library. In fact, the only motor driver shield
compatible with the AFMotor library is the AF shield.

The Rugged Motor Driver shields are compatible with the Stepper
library that comes with the Arduino GUI, and also compatible with the
more powerful AccelStepper library:

Ok, I don't feel so bad about not getting it working then. Luckily
I'm already using the accelstepper library too, skill.


Thanks!
