By the way, when I hooked the 9V battery to the leads backwards, I noticed that the battery heated up.....Is this normal?  Was I inadvertently charging the 9V battery off of whatever 5V current was flowing to the DF Robot shield (L298P) from the Netduino (ultimately from the computer)?

I did manage to get a 9V battery hooked into the PWRIN lead on the L298P device (after hooking backwards the first time....).  Once I got this configured correctly, the motor does run now.  Thanks!

How does one hook an external power source to the L298P DF Robot shield?

Regarding: "If you download the samples, and open DFRobot Motorshield.sln, you'll also see a sample code."...

OK...I'll try this.

I did install the software found at:

This is:

From within MS Visual Studio, I input the C# code found at:

http://netmftoolbox.... L298N and L293

I finally got the HBridge to be recognized after I included Toolbox.NETMF.Hardware.HBridge.

I have tried to include:

Toolbox.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino

(in order to get the IDE to recognize Netduino.PWM(...)), but, so far, to no avail.

Is the link you have above:

http://netmftoolbox....rdware.IPWMPort

accessible to me once I install the software found at:

Or do I have to go someplace else?

Thanks, Charlie
