Hello I'm working on a rc car and have it ready to go mostly besides for one problem. I don't know how to power the arduino and the motor shield. I have 6v needed into the 5-12 volts port on the adafruit but that won't also feed into the arduino uno which is below the adafruit motor shield. I want to be able to power both the uno and the shield but I don't want to use a usb port for the uno to power since my car will be moving around.
How can I power both my arduino uno and the adafruit motor shield without a usb? I already have the adafruit powered perfectly with the 5-12 volt port on the shield but I cannot get that to feed into the uno since it does not have ports below for it on UNO. PLEASE HELP!!
