Hold a Nylon spacer over each mounting hole on your Arduino module, and look
through it to see if the spacer can line up with the hole completely. For the
mounting hole by the Arduino Uno reset button, a spacer may not fit.
Insert a 7/8″ screw through the corresponding board-connection holes in your
Board of Education Shield.
Slide a Nylon spacer over each screw you used in mounting holes where a spacer
will fit. It is okay to use the screw without the spacer where needed.
Line up the Arduino module’s sockets with the Board of Education Shield’s pins.
Also line up the 7/8″ screws with the mounting holes in the Arduino board.
Gently press the two boards together until the pins are firmly seated in their
sockets. The sockets will not cover the pins completely; there will be about 3/8″
(~5 mm) of the pins still exposed between the bottom of the shield and the top of
the sockets.
Make sure the BOE Shield mounting holes
align with the Arduino module’s.
