Board Of Education, Revision C (28150)

Development / Education Platform for BASIC and Javelin Stamps

The Board Of Education (BOE) is a complete, low-cost development platform designed for those

interested in learning and using Parallax's 24-pin BASIC Stamp or Javelin Stamp modules. Its compact

size, convenient features, and low price make it an ideal tool for the student and educator. In fact, the

BOE serves as the development platform for many of the Stamps In Class courses. For those working

on their own, the BOE is a great tool with which to get started with Parallax Stamp-ICs. For educators,

the BOE provides a clean, efficient platform to implementing your own Stamp-based curriculum.

Features

• Wall-pack (2.1 mm center-positive plug) or 9-volt battery power supply connections

(mechanically interlocked to prevent dual connection).

• Three-position power switch allows Stamp-IC programming without providing power to servo

connectors.

• Jumper selection of servo power: regulated (Vdd) or unregulated (Vin).

• DB9 connector for Stamp-IC programming and serial communication during run-time.

• On-board regulator delivers up to 1 amp of power for larger projects.

• P0 - P15 I/O pins, Vdd, Vin, and Vss connections brought adjacent to 2" x 1 3/8" breadboard

area.

• Female 10-pin dual row connector for optional AppMods.

• Includes set of ten (10) color-coded pluggable 22 gauge wires with tinned ends.
