Has anyone successfully used the D0/D1 pins for RX/TX on this shield?

We used pins D0 and D1 in this project, because we used it in combination with the Freetronics Motorshield which uses pins D2 and D3 as default

I thought that you may find this interesting - Bluetooth connected Arduino robot - Student project. This one uses the Arduino Uno R3 board and the Ardafruit Motorshield with the Freetronics Bluetooth shield, but we are working on another one which uses the Freetronics Eleven with the Freetronics Dua...

Thanks for the quick reply johnb, I will get myself a 12V adaptor tomorrow and try it. Do you know what the most likely cause of this might have been? - just so I can try to ensure that they don't do it again. I am pretty sure that they would have hooked up the polarities correctly, but I can't ensu...

I purchased this motorshield just a few weeks ago and have been running it on top of an Eleven board using two 6-12V motors with a 9V battery pack (6x1.5V). It was working just fine until today. I thought that the voltage may have been dropping to under 8 volts so I connected it up to two 6v battery...
