Hi
I just built my Arduino shield using pieces I bought from the official shop. I bought the emonTX Shield, the 9V adapter, 2x 100A current sensors.
I attached the shield to Arduino and tried to make the digital pin 9 led blink. But it's not working: here's the code.
/*
Blink
Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.This example code is in the public domain.
*/// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards.
// give it a name:
int led = 9;
// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
// initialize the digital pin as an output.
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
I tried using a multimeter to check if the digital input is generated correctly and its OK, because every second I receive a signal on my multimeter.
I also tried to power the LED manually and it's working... however it's not working using the shield... How can it be possible?
Here is an image:

Thank you.
Re: Led on Digital 9 not working
It is hard to see from the photo, is the LED oriented correctly, that is, with the shield disconnected from the Arduino, +5 V on the Dig9 pin and 0 V to GND lights the LED?
Where are you measuring with your multimeter? You should see > 4.2 V on Dig 9, ~ 2.1 V across the LED, and ~ 2.1 V across R10.
