Instructions
The four groups of pins under the Board of Education Shield plug into the four Arduino
socket headers. There are also three board-connection holes in the shield that line up with
holes in the Arduino module, designed to connect the two boards together with screws and
Nylon spacers.
If you have a revision 3 Arduino, it will be labeled UNO R3 or MEGA R3 on the back. R3
boards will have two empty pairs of sockets, closest to the USB and power connectors, after
socketing the shield. Earlier versions, such as 2, 1, and Duemilanove, have the same number
of sockets as the shield has pins, so there will be no empty sockets left over. If you have an
Arduino Mega, the four pin groups will fit into the four headers closest to the USB and power
connectors, as shown next.
