Parallax Board of Education Shield
Parallax Board of Education Shield plugs into any Arduino module (not included) to give it the useful features and form factor of the original Board of Education®. This shield makes circuit prototyping simple and convenient with a 2 row x 17 column breadboard. Headers along the side, top, and bottom provide easy access to supply voltages and the Arduino module's digital I/O and analog inputs. The Board of Education Shield's four corner mounting holes and servo ports make it compatible with the Boe-Bot robot chassis, continuous rotation servos, and many sensors and accessories from Parallax. The 3-position power switch allows power to be turned on in stages, first to the power header above the breadboard, and then to any servos plugged into the ports.
This is especially useful for cutting servo power to monitor sensors on the breadboard while keeping motors from moving. This board also has a RESET button for restarting the program and pass-through headers for stacking more shields on top. The Board of Education Shield for Arduino takes the same simple approach to prototyping and combines it with the proven Arduino platforms for those who prefer Arduino programming.
