I’m new to the Arduino world, though lots of experience in other formats. Could someone tell me if the Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino **v2** is compatible with the new Arduino **V3** shield format?

Thanks.

I’m not aware of changes in the shield specifications, nor can I find a V3 of the Adafruit shield.

I suspect the only but possible important difference is the operating voltage since more recent Arduino boards operate at 3.3V rather than 5V. Make sure to check your Arduino board spec sheet as well as any info available on the shield you intend to purchase.

… but by all means feel free to post any link you have, and I (or someone else) might be able to answer more confidently.
