Hi all.

I've been using the Raspberry B+ with a pribrella it works well. I've been using it to control the wheels on my robot. However I have now added sensors and servos to my robot on the remaining unused pins. This is where the issues start to come up. When I use the pins on their own while the board is attached it all works fine. The issues are when I try to combine the pibrella powered motors and the sensors on the other spare pins in the same program. The import 'RPi.GPIO as GPIO' and 'GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)' code seems to directly conflict with the 'import Pibrella' code required to get the board working. I can't not use these commands as they are needed to configure the pins for my HS04 sensor and 9g tower server motors. Any ideas how to get around this? One extra bit of info the servo and HS04 are each imported .py files. I have not tried running the lot in just one package...

Want a free Pibrella? I upgraded to a PiFace and have no need for the one I have. Just send a prepaid mailer to me and I'll send it along.

A few photos of the add-on boards and how they fit.
