Hi everyone - I'm a retired mechanical engineer and I have had a stroke that has left me with greatly reduced mental capacity. About a year I started an Arduino project and I'm just now trying to get back into it. I'm really struggling with my thought process and it appears to be a very steep up-hill battle. But it's wintertime and I'm stuck indoors so I'll try again.
There are many motor control shields on eBay and most of them are from China and may be very slow in shipping. I have found one http://www.ebay.com/itm/official-arduino-motor-shield-v3-/150991643509?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2327cda375 that may possibly be shipped from the USA.
I can see by my records that I have made purchases from Adafruit Industries in the past but I don't remember. I have made purchases from other vendors but I don't remember any of them.
So here are my questions . . .
Would you buy that motor shield on eBay? Would you go to Adafruit for one? Can you make recommendations?
Thanks guys.
P.S. Please read this post very slowly as it took me FOREVER to type it.
