Hi Tobe, good idea! Based on some excellent advice I soldiered 3 wires to the top of the Music Shield so it can pass through to Arduino. (That was in my notes too ![Image]()
The problem now is how to use some of pins D0-D9 for other things.
I'm using 0 and 1 for Serial. The Music Shield either doesn't play, or plays then volumes all the way down, when pins 2-5 are connected to switches. This even happens when I bend out the pins of the Proto Shield so they don't go into Arduino.
How do I use these pins for other parts of my project?
Thanks!
Mike
