In summary, the conversation is about using the 0 and 1 digital pins while having a motor shield attached. The person is wondering if it is possible to solder a wire on top of the 1 and 0 pins on the shield without any problems. They also mention that the pins 1 and 2 on the shield do not appear to be connected from the eBay views and ask if these pins are not used by the shield software.

Hello,

I need to use the 0 and 1 digital pins while I have a motor shield on. I will include the link to the shield I plan to buy. Is it possible to solder a wire on top of the 1 and 0 pin (on the shield itself) while having no problems?

I circled the pins I am talking about in an ugly green color

Just from the ebay views pin 1 and 2 look to be not connected on the shield so I would think you could. I assume that these pins aren't used by the shield software?
 

What is an Arduino?
