Education Shield

Assembly Instructions (Arduino module not included)

Step 1

The four groups of pins under the Board of Education Shield plug into the four Arduino socket headers.

If you have an Arduino Mega, the four pin groups fit into the four headers closest to the USB and power

connectors. If your Arduino is Revision 3 it will have UNO R3 or MEGA R3 on the back. When you have

socketed the shield, Revision 3 and newer revisions will have two empty pairs of sockets at the far left,

closest to the USB and power connectors. Earlier revisions such as 2, 1, and Duemilanove have the same

number of sockets as the shield has pins, so there should be no empty sockets on the Arduino’s left side.

Step 2

Carefully line up the shield’s pins with the Arduino’s sockets. Before pressing the two boards together,

look through the shield’s three smaller mounting holes from straight above. They should line up with the

mounting holes on the Arduino module.
