Hello, so today I have soldered my EL Shield. I connected it to Arduino, gave it USB and Wall power, and flipped the EL Wire ON switch and I get no output on any of the channels on my EL wire, using the cable adapter… So I uploaded the test code file from seed:
[b]// EL test code
void setup()
{
for(int i = 4; i<8; i++)
{
pinMode(i, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(i, LOW);
}
}
void setEL(int ch)
{
for(int i = 4; i<8; i++)
{
digitalWrite(i, LOW);
}
digitalWrite(ch+3, HIGH);
}
int count = 0;
void loop()
{
setEL(count%4+1);
delay(2000);
if(count++ > 1000)count = 0;
}[/b]
And nothing happened…

I imagine it is because I do not have an inverter that connects to the EL Shield directly, so I just ordered one… sigh.
