Chapter 3 • Assemble and Test your BOE Shield-Bot
84 • Robotics with the BOE Shield-Bot
Attach the BOE Shield to the Chassis
Parts List
(4) pan-head screws, 1/4″ 4-40
(1) Board of Education Shield mounted to your Arduino module and secured with standoffs.
Instructions
 Set the BOE Shield on the four standoffs, lining them up with the four mounting
holes on the outer corner of the board.
 Make sure the white breadboard is closer to the drive wheels, not the tail wheel.
 Attach the board to the standoffs with the pan-head screws.
 Reconnect the servos to the servo headers.
Using Different Pins for the Servos: The Arduino toggles Pin 13 briefly upon startup or reset.
If this causes problems for a particular application, you can use Pins 11 and 12 instead of 12
and 13. Be sure to adjust your code accordingly.
ROBOTC: If you are building the BOE Shield-Bot to use with ROBOTC instead, follow the
